@georgetakei like an abusive spouse.

Their actions can't withstand reason, debate, scrutiny, let alone what would happen if the law got involved.
Our friends & neighbors [Canada, Nato, etc] worry about us & resent us for staying with this abusor.
Kids are stilted, growing up in a permanent state of gaslighting.

Could've stayed with the nice lawyer lady. Had to go back to the moron that ruined our lives the last time he was in the picture.
