this is the second child
he threatened to take the child
he yelled at molly with the baby in her lap
he doesnt even pay for diapers
he wants the child to go to daycare at his job for ~himself~ not the child
Discussion
he has a new girlfriend
he got so many clothes for the baby
in his style
his mini me
he wants to have a big birthday party for solstice
again, not for the baby
for himself
& prolly transference re: his eldest
the baby is a baby
the baby will not remember
a ten year old would
like the ten year old is erased
like solistice is the replacement
his anger that molly is not more compliant & amendable to every wish & demand
charmer
wins people over easily
so many of molly's friends side with him or remain neutral
the only ones undyingly molly's are who?
1. people who suffered a narcissistic parent
2. people who suffered early death of family member
3. domestic abuse survivors & rape survivors
they literally know it
how it goes
the pr campaign
the audience will choose whatever side is the least amount of work & costs the least in short term thinking calculations
& they have the bandwidth thru suffering
the eyes
the discernment
to see it clearly for what it is
like velveteen rabbit
at least what you go thru makes you so real
not that it's any consolation at all
dont i know it
may that dude choose therapy eventually
may he have a good one
may solstice grow old enough to have his own good boundaries
may father & son be able to hang out with mom's blessing one day
instead of hangouts triangulated thru friends at molly's expense
