Abusers hurt people to self regulate their nervous system and place the responsibility of their own emotions onto the people around them. That poor little boy is repeating his lived experience and, unknowingly, trying to pass that responsibility along to anyone else in the room. 🧵

I allowed myself to be spoken to like that for almost a decade, but I REFUSED (by whatever means necessary) to subject a future child to my husband’s inevitable disdain. 🪡🧵

Contempt and disdain are emotions still out of reach for a little boy that young. But he mimics the language so well, because he has had lots of practice. Could you imagine speaking to your child with contempt? ANY child? 🪡🧵

People are laughing at that little boy saying those things in the oval office, things some might even wish to say themselves. People say “that must be how his dad talks to the president haha!

That is how that man speaks to that child’s MOTHER.

That is how that man speaks TO HIS TODDLER SON. 🪡🧵
