He and his friend were both clued into what was happening all along with my ex, including the fact that he was abusive. I didn’t manipulate or force anything. We had two road trips together, the three of us, and I talked a bit about my ex on those rides. Your post is most off putting. Your accusing me of things I’m not guilty of… as though I’m some sort of manipulator, una. I’m not. I have every right to gather my support system in the face of my ex who is abusive. I really don’t appreciate your post and it’s very triggering and unkind… very victim blaming too.
