    If it just someone happens once in a while then most kids might not even notice something is up. A kid in an household where it happens often will know it. A kid in an abusive household will be terrified and will try to mitigate it.

      Yup. It’s not “oh dad is passively quiet” it’s “oh he’s actively quiet and a plate might go flying if anyone sets him off”

      I once again repeat, I understand what the post was going for, I am just complaining it is very poorly written and fear people would attribute abuse to family members that are not abusive in anyway
