abuse
Idk I just think there's a major difference between someone covering up abuse to save face when they are not being harmed by it...and someone constantly appeasing their abuser because they are terrified of being hurt or killed.

I'm not saying that drug addiction can't be very harmful to people and relationships, but it is also a medical and a psychological issue, whereas the garbage I am finding is acting like 1) all drug addiction is equivalent to abusing people and 2) if you are addicted you are being willful. It's very conservative and DARE in its outlook.

A lot of this shit is also about drug addiction, in a way that's very shaming and ignorant. It's conflating drug addiction with abuse, blaming drug addicts for being addicted, and blaming their support network for "allowing" the addiction to continue.
What about teachers who see bruises on kids and turn a blind eye? What about churches that shuffle around pedophile priests? What about police departments that vehemently protect racist cops?
Those, to me, are the enablers.
