Yep, everyone has agency and is responsible for their choices and decisions. You're not a victim, you're a decision maker.

I totally agree as a rule BUT I will say that when my dad was in decline before he passed I found I felt completely stuck. 
One the one hand he was totally disrespectful and seemed not to care about me at all but on the other I knew if I just cut him out of my life I would regret every second I didn’t spend with him when he was gone..
I am staunchly independent and honestly fk anyone who tries to manipulate me and I didnt feel pressured at all by what he wanted but by the fact that he was a parent and I knew from therapy that comes with deep deep emotional repercussions regardless of your agency sometimes there really is a catch 22 in life.

So although i wouldn’t say I was a victim of my father perhaps, I was a victim of circumstance.
Honestly if I hadn’t had this experience I totally would have been commenting here agreeing 100% but life sort of showed me otherwise.

Makes me wonder how many other acute life situations that are possible that I don’t know about.. probably infinite
