Abuse time

Abuse
I work with abused children.  Abuse is something that I find I can recognize quickly.  It begins with relationship.  A relationship is built on mutual trust and respect.  There are some things I am not going to do because I am in a relationship with you.  As a timekeeper, abusive relationships can be built and difficult to destroy.  I know many a person who ruined the relationship that they had with me because I was always waiting for them to come.  I was waiting for them to get done.  I was waiting for them to value me enough to respect my time.  Abuse is when you cross the boundary and expect the person you are abusing to have no negative feelings about it.  Here is my thought on abusive relationships regarding time. 
“You will not be my priority when I am simply your option”.
