His attitude is: “You owe me.” For each ounce he gives, he wants a pound in return. He wants his partner to devote herself fully to catering to him, even if it means that her own needs—or her children’s—get neglected. You can pour all your energy into keeping your partner content, but if he has this mind-set, he’ll never be satisfied for long. And he will keep feeling that you are controlling him, because he doesn’t believe that you should set any limits on his conduct or insist that he meet his responsibilities.”</div><div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18344" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue Light', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> </div><div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18346" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue Light', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Let me be as clear as I possible can.

There is also the rape allegations, sexual harassment allegations, and sick rumors of exploits with prostitutes in Russian hotels. If for no other reason than common decency, I can not accept this man as a legitimate office holder. He is not my president. He is not my representative. He is not someone who I will support.</div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18329"> </div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18331">As domestic violence writer Lundy Bancroft wrote: “An abuser can seem emotionally needy. You can get caught in a trap of catering to him, trying to fill a bottomless pit. But he’s not so much needy as entitled, so no matter how much you give him, it will never be enough. He will just keep coming up with more demands because he believes his needs are your responsibility, until you feel drained down to nothing.”</div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18341"> </div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18343">Bancroft stated elsewhere: “The abusive man’s high entitlement leads him to have unfair and unreasonable expectations, so that the relationship revolves around his demands. His attitude is: “You owe me.” For each ounce he gives, he wants a pound in return. He wants his partner to devote herself fully to catering to him, even if it means that her own needs—or her children’s—get neglected. You can pour all your energy into keeping your partner content, but if he has this mind-set, he’ll never be satisfied for long. And he will keep feeling that you are controlling him, because he doesn’t believe that you should set any limits on his conduct or insist that he meet his responsibilities.”</div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18344"> </div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18346">Let me be as clear as I possible can. On January 20 we did not elect a true president. What we collectively witnessed-like bystanders- was one of the largest and most public acts of domestic violence ever recorded. Trump's taking the oath was an act of domestic violence. He is an abuser. His words are abusive. His actions are abusive. His policies are abusive. His history is abusive. His spirit is abusive.</div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18347"> </div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18349">God help us all.</div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18350"> </div> <div dir="ltr" id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18352">Where, as a nation founded on civil rights and human dignity, will we seek an Order of Protection against this man?</div> <div dir="ltr" id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18353"> </div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18355">I benefited immensely from the article below by <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/author/catherine-pearson&source=gmail&ust=1485138205409000&usg=AFQjCNEhREmSe4Cr49W_HPV3G8Rx_5_2HQ" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/author/catherine-pearson" id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18357" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Catherine Pearson</a>, Women & Parents Senior Reporter, The Huffington Post</div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18360">*<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/16-real-things-trump-has-said-about-women-while-for-running-for-president_us_57e14a5ae4b04a1497b6a29c&source=gmail&ust=1485138205409000&usg=AFQjCNH7lgCK8_Cah4Su2BnFuTIORySHwQ" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/16-real-things-trump-has-said-about-women-while-for-running-for-president_us_57e14a5ae4b04a1497b6a29c" target="_blank">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/16-real-things-trump-has-said-about-women-while-for-running-for-president_us_57e14a5ae4b04a1497b6a29c</a></div> <div dir="ltr" id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18362"> </div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18364"> </div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18366"> </div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18368"> </div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18370">George "Casey" Payne, M.A., M.T.S.</div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18371">Visiting Adjunct Professor at</div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18372">Finger Lakes Community College</div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18373">Founder, Gandhi Earth Keepers International</div> <div id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18374"><a href="tel:(585)%20703-9230" target="_blank" value="+15857039230">585-703-9230</a></div> <div dir="ltr" id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18375"><a class="m_5699245268705021898enhancr2_e5ea003d-49d5-cfc7-954c-37da6201b2cb" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.gandhiearthkeepers.org/&source=gmail&ust=1485138205409000&usg=AFQjCNHaldeqk7Ya8tEjEJj5Q1Cgtrrh7w" href="http://www.gandhiearthkeepers.org/" id="m_5699245268705021898yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485029737835_18378" target="_blank">Gandhi Earth Keepers International Rochester NY</a></div>
