I’mma guess the answer to your question, is no, Friend TimeSquirrel. Get on wit’ yo’ Bad Self!
Reactive abuse is still abuse. That’s not saying don’t defend ourselves. It is saying it’s fine to remove myself and not seek to justify my behavior in becoming that which I found abhorrent. It happens. It’s a l long journey of healing, before I could even about that to myself. Looking at ourselves need not be distorted for better or worse. I can only correct my behavior by hm, to borrow a 12 step phrase, “fearless and searching moral inventory.” No justifications, no excuses. The abyss does indeed look back.
