Abuse, DV, SA, CSA System History
Click to ReadRemy tries to host a discussion between us and our then-partner/their headmates, the day after our then-partner's latest episode of abuse. They knew they had fucked up something minor, but when they were caught lying about it, they pivoted and spent a Very Very Long Time acting like Deidal was ~being paranoid~, in a Very Intentional, Drawn-Out, and Devoted attempt to mindfuck us out of our fully accurate perception of reality.

They knew we knew something was up, and they prioritized spending So Long trying Yet Again to make us think we were ~crazy~, all because they would rather sacrifice our well-being and the foundation of the entire relationship than face even the slightest hint of discomfort over their own minor error.

Then-partner knew the exact CSA-related reasons why that specific type of abuse viscerally destroys us - especially Deidal - but for our then-partner and all of their silent accomplice headmates, it was worth it to spend So Long intentionally wrecking us anyway.

While discussing the event later, they Once Again minimize their abusive behavior, playing the victim and trying to vilify us for acknowledging the fact that they have certain abusive behaviors in common with "Jane." Malady torments Deidal with the horrifying knowledge that our new "friends" are likely going to repeat the same 2006 cycle of begging us to stay and insisting things will change, while continuously enabling their host's abuse.

Deidal can't bring herself to cut ties with her so-called "friend," but she and Remy also can't escape the haunting awareness that if they were all willing to enable the intentional violation of our love and trust like this, for So Long, over something so painfully trivial, and then play the victim about it, then they'd almost certainly do the same over things that were very much Not trivial.

CJ had reconnected with Deidal and supported waking the rest of "the '06 crew" with the belief that "things are different and we're safe from intentional abuse now," so they could start to heal - but with this particular escalation of abusive behavior, it becomes abruptly clearer that certain things actually aren't so different at all.

Spoilers: we were correct in our assessment of the situation. This entitlement to intentionally violate our love, trust, and consent (yes, including sexually) with manipulation and exploitation (often premeditated, sometimes opportunistic) would remain an increasingly persistent theme with our then-partner - in addition to stealing thousands from us, threats to kill our cat and family members, and violent physical assaults with weapons.
