Spiritual Abuse Cartoon - Maybe I Deserve This

This is a cartoon that I was commissioned to draw.

"Maybe I Deserve This" cartoon by nakedpastor David Hayward

Abusers often feel justified in inflicting abuse. They are spiritually motivated to hurt people. But... and this is a point I frequently make... abusive people create and co-opt ideas that authorize abuse.

It's a vicious circle that many people suffer under.

Have you? Are you?
