I've thought for a long time that public school should include material on understanding and preventing abuse to yourself and others. I had a parent that was emotionally manipulative and grew up accepting it. When I went out into the world I put up with a lot of emotional abuse and let myself get whipped by jerks because I wanted to avoid confrontation at all costs. My wife deals with poisonous people much better than me, and I regularly use her as the voice of reason when I have trouble with some people.
