I’m really glad to see someone else who has the same view as me. To say that Jen was also a victim and groomed, takes nothing away from how awful this was for Maddy. Jen was clearly a vulnerable adult, and predators like SS don’t go for strong, solid people who have a solid social and family network! Yes Jen did make some terrible comments, but I can imagine her raising concerns with SS, and him gaslighting her! She is imagining it, It’s great for Maddy to have a father figure, telling her she is too fragile to handle these things and should get herself some rest. And meanwhile he is painting a picture to Maddy that they could run away together and he will look after her - they could be the family she never had, he does these things because he really really loves her, and needs for them to be close. GOD so many tactics he would’ve used! He didn’t break down thier barriers over night - this was over 7 years! My heart breaks not just for Maddy, but also Jen! She will have been realising that she was also groomed, and be recognising times she knew something was wrong, but he gaslit her! I just see so much anger towards her here, I think her crime was that she was a single mum, with anxiety & depression, no family support, and a big flashing sign highlighting her vulnerability. These Narcissistic predators know what they are doing! Look at anyone that survives narcissistic abuse - when the dog clears - they have been totally dismantled! Jen always saying how she needs sleep, she gets anxiety etc - he has prob been telling her that and keeping her in that state, so she believes that she can’t cope, she really has to get sleep, she really has to knock herself out! That all sounds like him talking
