hundreds of abuse survivors: I identified with Lapis a lot and the things Jasper said were even word-for-word what I heard from my abuser(s). No one ever talks about the part of abuse where you miss your abuser or think you deserved the abuse. The self blame is rarely touched upon. I’m grateful that it showed “mutual abuse” doesn’t exist and is nothing more than a way for abusers to victimize themselves and gaslight their victims. It’s wonderful to see abuse portrayed so realistically
everyone else: um okay but Lapis fought back and was mean?? Jasper is suffering. Maybe the real abusers were the victims all along. Really makes you think huh?
