I have also begun to realize that violent people (physically or emotionally violent) are only lashing out from their own limited point of view and ultimately it has nothing to do with you, it is coming from their own pain. This is hard when it is coming from people you need like parents or friends, because it feels like a deep separation and loss so it is hard to not get hurt by it. Sometimes you have to protect yourself but usually all it takes is to remove yourself from the situation. The truth is, those who deserve love the least are those who need it the most... thank you for bringing up this subject it is an important one :) <3
And by the way you can blog about anything :D you don't have to limit yourself in any particular direction, here on Steemit you are free to share everything you want and that is what I like the most about this community :)
