"The truth is if someone doesn’t respect me or my needs, I am under no
obligation to love them. I will treat every human being with a certain
level of respect and dignity, but beyond that, it is my choice when I
love and who I love. In fact, it is healthy to have standards for the
people I care about. My standards and personal boundaries are there to
protect me from further abuse. Nobody who loves me would abuse me, and I
have no reason to love anyone who would abuse me. I’ve broken free from
the idea of unconditional love and it feels good." - Jennifer Stuck
