I’m not an internet lawyer like you fine fellows, but I’m pretty sure that this means them doing what you’re all accusing them of is breaking their own agreement, not screwing you by sticking to it.

Followers: This book is one of the most comprehensive books I’ve ever read about abuse, abuse dynamics, and how abuse works. If you’ve ever been confused, think you’ve been abused, or just want to know more, I suggest reading this.
