Commentary: Plainly Abusive Or Not-Entirely-Willingly Abusive?

Truth be told, people like the abusive person in this video may truly love their partners and are nonetheless abusing them and themselves by doing something for which the partners may need to take the hard step of leaving them: refusing to get treatment for mental illnesses if they can get that treatment.

In the video, the abusive person has Alcoholism for which he is clearly not getting treatment, although he can treatment for Alcoholism. Other mental illnesses which unfortunately can effect people to abuse other people include Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia: when people are in the throes of untreated mental illnesses like that, they're not even aware of what they're doing. According to the Mayo Clinic re Bipolar Disorder alone, "Despite the mood extremes, people with bipolar disorder often don't recognize how much their emotional instability disrupts their lives and the lives of their loved ones and don't get the treatment they need.".

Sometimes, then, the abused partners have to leave and say to their abusive partners something like, "I will come back if you seek the mental-health treatment that you need, and I will be fully supportive of you as you undergo the mental-health treatment. I cannot continue to let you hurt me and, ultimately, hurt yourself, and the only way that you can begin to heal yourself and mend the ties that you have cut is to acknowledge that you have a mental illness and get help for yourself."

(So To Speak) Two Birds With One Paw (Doesn't Especially Camille Literally Wish?!)

PS Camille even scratched "Auntie Nicole" to try to get one of the treats without getting a picture taken, and she also jumped back up onto the clothespile when it was Reilly's turn to do so—and Reilly didn't want to get on the clothespile, anyway, despite that "Momma" encouraged her to do so.

A Bit Of A Belated #FluffyFriday....and Perhaps a #ShamingonShabbat Post (Say What?!)

#Dogshaming, anyway:

(Before Shabbat)

"I tried to help Cam avoid a pep talk after she bit Momma over a treat and left a tooth mark on each side of her finger...and I tried to avoid a picture." 

(On Shabbat)

"I am still trying to avoid a pup-shaming picture, and after leaving a tooth mark on each side of Auntie Nicole's finger. This isn't to mention the death grip that I had on it and intensified the more that she tried to take my undeserved treat. 'Roll over all the way'? I don't roll over for anybody, and I want my treat when I want it! That's part of why I tried to bite Auntie Nicole three times in a row when she tried to get me down from looking out of the window because I barked--that's what she gets for trying to take my treat earlier, and even though I took it from her when I didn't earn it!" 

(1. It was "Auntie Nicole's pointer finger. 2. The mark consisted of a circle on each side.)

(Part Two--One Example From Just Within the Same Hour) "I stole Hippo from Reilly's crate, wouldn't sit--so I got Auntie Nicole to cowtow & command 'Stay'; hardly played with Hippo when she threw him and chased him, and tried to get another toy from the toy basket. Then I whined when I couldn't get it and had Mimi get it, and whined to get her to throw me it--am I stubborn or what?! 😏"

What did "Mimi" say about what Camille was doing at one point?! PS The Snoot Challenge on Facebook

A Bit Of A Belated Card East Of the MST Time Zone

PS Elaborate cards take work—although "elaborate" doesn't necessarily mean "well made" (You be the judge.), although the subjects of the card's photos were perfectly made (and judging the card and its maker is one matter; judging Reilly's and Camille's Maker is another.).

A Belated Tell A Joke Day Card

And, yes, "Momma" looked up Queen's logo's colors. No shame!
