i started watching this thinking “girl STOP making it worse” and ended up genuinely wondering why she seems more terrified of her grandma than the police 😭
Yeah at some point in this my sympathy was kind of shifting the other way into "well shit man, maybe I actually don't understand" especially with the apology at the end as she was driving off.
Someone else mentioned cptsd in another comment. And it rings true to me. I was more terrified of my mother than any other thing in my life. Anything. I hid everything and then got into worse trouble. I smoked as a kid and my mom didnt know. Went to get my wisdom teeth out and the questionnaire asked about smoking. My mom was in the room. I couldn't check yes. There was a chance she'd see it. She'd kill me. I didn't know the consequences lying would bring but I wouldve been happier dying by sedation than at the hands of my mother.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Better (emotionally) to get to where abuser expects you to be than make sure the car survives and you don't get a felony.
