QOTD

I briefly considered including amazon.com links to all the books in the previous meme, but got bored and tired before I'd gotten too far, so I scrapped that idea.

I did, however, find a quote from a book that Id like to share with you all:

from Why does he do that? By Lundy Bancroft (found when I was Google-ing for the exact wording of the title To Be an Anchor in the Storm)

"If I were asked to select one salient characteristic of my abusive clients, an aspect of their nature that stands out above all the others, I would choose this one: They feel profoundly justified. Every effort to reach an abuser must be based on an antidote to this attitude: abuse is wrong; you are responsible for your own actions; no excuse is acceptable; the damage you are doing is incalculable; your problem is yours alone to solve."
