I hope nobody misses the two parallels that often constitute cases of domestic abuse like Anjola’s own.
1. The protection, rationalisation, or justification of the abuse/abuser by the victim.
2. The lack of self-awareness by the abuser, usually due to narcissism, of the depravity of their nature, despite being acutely aware of the consequences of their actions.
And that’s why I enjoy fiction writing because all this can be compressed into one story, without saying too much.
Soul-touching
Emotions stirrer
This is so real, I literally lived through this peice for the 10 mins that i read it

🥲🫠, this was beautifully written Ebun
❤️
My goodness
You write beautifully
This was a hard read for me, because I've lived close to this
This tension is one of the main reasons for the demise of so many victims of abuse
And honestly, we need to stop seeing the good in people along side their horrific deeds
If people repeatedly do bad things then they are bad
Exactly!
Exactly!
That’s the truth.
I’m trying to put my thoughts into words but this was such a good but painful read❤️
Thank you, Moyin❤️
It’s sad how understandable this is.
Real sad
Lord the complications of the human experience, to love your abuser. This is crazy work Ebun.
Thank you, I try.
