Abuse

I am closing my eyes on the abuse. You open my eyes to it. I feel pain. I ask myself - who caused the pain? Not the person opening my eyes.

Wrong behavior: why did you open my eyes and cause me pain?

Correct behavior: I thank you making me see the abuse for what it is. I will call out the abuser for the abuse and demand correction. I will create consequences if the abuse is repeated.

Changes

What're loki does:
Gloss over abuse
Accept bad treatment
Ignore or look the other way when treated badly

What loki does,
Loki gets angry when abuse is pointed out
Loki lashes when he is made aware that people are continuing to treat him badly. When he is being treated as a second class parent
Loki retaliates at the messenger

Old behavior
Glossing over abuse

New behavior
Calling people out on bad behavior
Setting very high expectations for how people treat loki
Don't kill the messenger
Be grateful and thankful that you are pointed out - your own blind spots
Work on demanding the respect that has been robbed from you - because of Jayaa
