This might be a language think, but as I understand "abuse" implies some degree of intent, repetitiveness, or suppression of the victims response, no?

If someone is punched, you would typically call that assault, while if they are punched on several occasions while being prevented from seeking help, you would call it abuse.

Likewise, if someone is yelled at or scolded or manipulated on one occasion, you usually would say that they were "yelled at, scolded, or manipulated", while if it occurs systematically over time you would refer to it as abuse.

Please correct me if I'm wrong here

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
