If the way the Dursleys acted was because Harry was a horcrux, ask yourself while none of Harry’s friends or the Weasley’s acted this way. Harry had a soul of his own that overpowered the horcrux, which none of the objects did, which is why his presence did not create the same time of feelings as the other horcruxes did.
Not to mention the Dursley’s hated Harry long before he showed up, the first chapter of the first book shows that. And add on to that add how Aunt Marge treated him even though she was almost never around him.
TLDR; blaming the abuse Harry went through on horcruxes is victim blaming and abuse apologism, so don’t do itTHANKS I HATE THAT POST
EVERY TIME I SEE THAT POST I GET SO ANGRY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS

Reading about abusive men and the way they think. Very unsettling and an incredible book so far. Here are my very professional notes.
what book is this?
This is from “Why Does He DO That” by Lundy Bancroft.
I’m so glad I’m seeing more and more Lundy Bancroft quotes on my dash because this book CHANGES THE LIVES OF ABUSE VICTIMS.
The programs run for rehabilitating abusive men through the courts? Bancroft DESIGNED THEM. His programs are replicated ALL OVER THE WORLD.
He literally wrote THE book on abuser rehabilitation.Here’s a link to a pdf copy. If you haven’t read this book yet, read this book.
Can we talk about how it seems like the entirety of the book is online on PDF, this making it accessible to anyone with an internet connection?
That is how we stop abuse.
We enable everyone to know what it looks like, so that when it happens, they can shut it down.
Arm yrself with knowledge!
Changed my life, would reccomend.
Reblogging for the PDF link.

Always reblogging because this isn’t just a partner abuse thing, this is a common abuse tactic PERIOD: Parents, siblings, bosses, general assholes, etc…

new link (the old one is broken)
Pretty sure I’ve reblogged this like eight times, don’t care.
I am an abuse survivor and I will reblog this every single time it crosses my dash because like so many others, I didn’t see how bad it was and how deeply it was affecting me until I got away from him long enough for others to point it out to me. READ THIS.
