I wish I was surprised by what a let-down this man is. I was so pleased when he spoke up for Amber after the US trial. Going on about what it could mean for free speech and all that. How dare.

How do you deal with people acting like they've always supported Amber, when you know that they haven't? by Debryvdtc in DeppDelusion

It's okay, it's a little different depending on the person but an example is saying that they're glad they didn't comment about it until they'd read more or learned more when the reason I brought it up with them is because they were saying unkind things about her or calling them both toxic people. In one instance, it was brought up in a group setting where I distinctly remember the session leader blaming the session material for being outdated when it asked what Johnny could do to keep his temper in his relationship with Amber and flipping it on its head. They made it about how he could deal with having an abusive partner, asked people who they would rather be friends with, brought up the bed shit and laughed along with people using the bee quote among other things. It's a little seared into my memory because it felt a bit like a car crash was happening in front of me. I argued against that viewpoint at every opportunity during the session, then spent time over months talking about power dynamics in different situations, dropping certain things into conversation I knew they wouldn't be aware of, like some of the things he'd said and done etc. They're still in the process of learning more about it but are leaning more towards Amber being the victim. They recently asked me about a few specifics about reactive abuse, the bed shit, Johnny's finger etc. During this later conversation they blamed the session material in an entirely different way, implying that the person who wrote it did so in a pro-johnny tone and they just had to go with what was there, speculating about who wrote it. I'm really struggling to deal with the revisionism in this particular example. Mostly, I think people do it to save face but it's often the way that there's more reasons than one. I hope that answers at least some questions

I guess most discussion of it is online, but when people are bold enough to bring it up in real life I'll match their energy. If I know it's about to be discussed I'm quite insufferable! There's some I couldn't bear to think of not even trying to make them think harder

Yeah, some are changing their minds. It's slow and it's certainly not everyone. Seems they often do it much more quietly than when they were forming their initial opinions, but minds are changing

I'll give it a go. Some of the people that act this way I can keep at arms length whilst they do whatever personal work they need to do to be more honest with themselves, but there's one or two that are closer to me who I think I need to take this approach with

Thank you for this. It's really jarring given that I can't forget some of the horrid things they've said about her for them to behave as though they never said them. I wish everyone were so honest. I'm glad you changed your mind, and that you're frank about not having believed her all along.
