The worst woman
I've recently finished My Dark Vanessa. As a victim of grooming from my own English teacher, it reduced me to tears and absolutely tore me apart. Safe to say, it had quiet the impact on me.
I've seen this book be discussed here and there, but for some reason I've never seen anyone bring up Vanessa's mom.
Let me make this clear. She saw the picture. She knows her daughter mentioned some 'Jacob' was her boyfriend. She knows this grown ass man was raping her child. But her first reaction is whatever the hell it was in the book. Oh god. I have never been more triggered. Especially as someone who was groomed right under my Mother's nose and she did not even notice. But I know even my mother would have done something bout it if it the evidence was as incriminating as the one Vanessa's mother had. God. I feel so mad just knowing this mother did nothing about it, never even TRIED to comfort her daughter, and even fought with her and guilt tripped her is just enraging me. Maybe I'm being too personal about it, but I just don't understand. At all.
I love, love, love this book, and I must admit, the mother being this brutally realistic is something I really appreciated in the book.
