Yeah, but like... So you have a pet dog. A very overenthusiastic puppy, and sometimes it gets too excited and it bites you when it's trying to lick you. And it's, like, not its fault, right? It's a puppy! You know it doesn't mean to hurt you, and that it loves you, and you love it back, so that bite, it's, like, fine?
[ It's fine. Abusive family members are like sweet little puppy dogs. [
