My college recently decided that non vaccinated students would have to go into a 7 day quarantine when they arrive on campus. My dad has been pushing for me to get vaccinated for months, but I’m 18 and my mom has been on my side this whole time so he has basically been all bluster. However, now he’s gone full tilt into rage mode that I won’t do what he thinks is “best for the family.” He has moved all of my stuff from around the house into my bedroom and is telling me that “I wanted to give you the choice but you are getting vaccinated by Friday.” I’m holding firm but I just wanted to share another story about how these deranged psychos will tear everything apart for their narrative.

Abuse extends beyond violence. Non-violent abuse can be more harmful.
That is true, but I don’t think it has gotten to the point where I would be comfortable with saying that. It is definitely bad parenting, and maybe this behavior over the course of a longer time or if I was younger could be abuse, but I wouldn’t say it qualifies right now. There’s a lot you could complain about with this behavior without calling it abuse yet, regardless, I will keep weighing where that line is as things go on.
