“You deserve what you tolerate.”

Such a mean thing to say to someone who’s at a low point in their life. It’s not a ‘wake up call’ that some people think it is. If you say this to a stranger, I would automatically assume that you lack empathy. No one deserves to be abused or manipulated. Some people grew up without knowing their worth, or how they should be loved and treated properly with respect. Their resilency to abuse doesn’t mean that they deserve it.
