This. Also, the best advice I can give is "Assume the people you're talking to - even family - are armed and choose your words carefully, because cops *will not* help you." This does not mean "concede anything;" it means "messaging is a tool to use." Signed, a person who's had a gun pulled on them

"There's no way it could have been abuse/that bad, because I stayed/kept going back." Yeah, unless you were conditioned by CPTSD to believe you couldn't do better, "deserved" it, and/or it was safer to stay or go back than to leave. Also, there's this thing called dissociation.

You think you just fell out a coconut tree? Men make their own history, but they don't make it as they please; they don't make it under self-selected circumstances but under circumstances existing already. You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.

Honest answer: we don’t fucking know. The discarding of Chevron, coupled with the determination a rule may be challenged from the moment of harm and not from the moment the rule was made, throws more or less the entirety of administrative law - the basis of a regulatory system - into flux.
