When I step out of the role you have written for me you make me feel like a plagiarist. from the play Jake's Women.

This is an area of great abuse where you have the absurd situation of small children supposedly contributing their own money to a candidate of their own choice. Obviously, in many cases, what's going on is simply a way for the parents to beat the contribution limits.

so often victims end up unnecessarily prolonging their abuse because they buy into the notion that their abuser must be coming from a wounded place and that only patient love and tolerance (and lots of misguided therapy) will help them heal.

Playing the victim role: Manipulator portrays him- or herself as a victim of circumstance or of someone else's behavior in order to gain pity, sympathy or evoke compassion and thereby get something from another. Caring and conscientious people cannot stand to see anyone suffering and the manipulator often finds it easy to play on sympathy to get cooperation.

Gee, what a terrific party. Later on we'll get some fluid and embalm each other.
