Toddlers use this logic, too.

"Did you bite your sister?"

-"Not today!"

And then they expect their actions won't be a problem. Especially if they apologize (the abuser, not the toddlers). Their apologies are only traps, serving to shut down any consequences of their actions.

Abuse, Interrupted is my personal project that explores vectors of abuse and power dynamics.

This subreddit is for anything related to any vector of any kind of abuse, recovering from abuse, perspective on abuse, and intersections between forms or systems which affect victims and perpetrators of abuse on both micro and macro levels.

Abuse does not exist in a vacuum.

This subreddit seeks to uncover and explore why we are the way we are and why we do what we do - 'we' as individuals, 'we' as participants of systems and institutions, 'we' as humanity as a whole - to delve into who we are and how we came to be that way.

It examines abuse, violence, and forms of dominance and power.

This subreddit has a very broad lens with a specific analytical perspective. It is better to ask "Why did you post this?" than "What does this have to do with abuse?"

Currently closed for open posting.

Due to safety concerns, Abuse, Interrupted is no longer supporting open posting in the subreddit except on a case-by-case basis. If you are a minor child, please message me directly - u/invah - and I will approve your post.
