Not mine but it's been in my head since i read it on a plane and i wanted to put it somewhere bc i like sharing where my rabbit holes take me (i love horror i love horror).
#i kinda wanna put out a reading list so i can keep track of all this stuff#anyway nobody asked and maybe trying to find a simple meaning for art destroys the point but i interpret this as being about CSA#though i dont know much about the impact of it on kids that young or when it happens within families#I saw the way that the father is just passing down the responsibility his father gave to him down another generation#How these discussions only happen when the mother isnt around even though you have to wonder how she could ever live her life not knowing#the father is gentle and kind until he's suddenly violent and horrible#the blood and guts of it and yet no one helps or even acknowledges it until its all over#and in the end the mother is silently watching and you have to wonder how long she was there#watching it happen and doing nothing to intervene#did she always know?#i dont know much about csa but in my experience being groomed when i was much older you have two versions of your abuser in your head#the nice kind person who would never do that and the person who hurt you and you feel so guilty resenting the nice kind person and you twis#yourself into knots trying to believe theyre still there somewhere but in the end you have to kill that person in your mind to acknowledge#what really happened. and thats what i saw
