I wonder: would coming to plum's aid not have more power over her than to do nothing?
Giving her the option to be someplace else with shelter and space and security is more helpful than threatening to call the police and forcing her to defend her abuser. TC should know that instead of forcing a decision on her where she spirals into uncertainty and homelessness seeing as he's got some degree in psychology.
It's about giving her a choice rather than distressing her to such a point
People have been giving her "choices". It'd be great to see her say if she's been taking them or even considering them. So far it seems like she's been mainly avoiding the issue and that's also a problem -- a recurring one.
Sure and when everybody was showing her support and trying to help her, TC was actively saying that she was lying as well also reporting to her abusive husband everything that was going on which only caused more friction. So it's pretty clear that she would be cautious of taking any further steps.
Cautious of taking any further WHAT steps? The ones TC's suggesting, or anyone's? That makes no fucking sense.
No one is going to call any cops here. Is that part at least settled? Delora is going to have to make some choice. Are you saying that she shouldn't try anything now? That there's no reason to try and help?
Do you see that TC is acting in bad faith? He's not doing anything besides bully Delora and deriving pleasure out of it. If there really is any abuse, this is a tough situation for everyone, and Lena's trying her best to help. She has done the most out of any forum member.
