Tomorrow marks one month since that evil bitch witch took every good beautiful thing I had left in this fucked up world and broke it into a million little unrecognizable pieces. 🥂

Watched ‘Girl in the Picture’ tonight. Lots of twists and turns. Also a bit more victim blaming than I would’ve cared for... any victim blaming is more than I’d like.  

The woman who adopted the daughter of the victim recalls them meeting alone in the hospital room after the daughter is born. The woman was like, “We were alone, why didn’t she tell me what was going on? I could’ve helped her.” Well, she had been abducted, held captive, and sexually/psychologically/physically abused by the man for over a decade. She’d also just given birth. She was probably not going to be in the head space to think clearly enough to attempt to save herself from that situation. 

At the end of the documentary one of the victim’s friends said she blamed the victim’s mother for not doing more to find her. She said she’d been kidnapped/abducted as a child and her mom did a better job advocating for her search and rescue. Good for you, ma’am, but every situation is different. A lot of things went wrong that allowed for the victim to end up in the situation she did. Let’s not blame her poor mother for things out of her control. 

Do better people. Don’t blame victims of abuse and violence for not saving themselves. There are so many factors that were out of her control and I’m sure had been mentally broken down after years and years. It is amazing when these victims are able to find ways to save themselves from dire situations, but I’d imagine those are the special and rare cases.
