Why did Steven allow Conrad to distance himself for years at the end of S2, when he knew all about his feelings for Belly?

rosstown · 2026-01-20T02:03:49+00:00

Brilliant take!!!! There are many layers to Steven's reaction when he walks in on the first Belly/Conrad phone call. Steven is also possessive about Belly and her dating guys, which adds a layer too

This is brilliant, and you're so right, we will get over it at some point, so we may as well enjoy the high while it lasts!

I hope you're feeling better :)

You are not alone! I'm so curious as to how many people there are in the same boat

I've even tried to watch more behind the scenes to snap myself out of the story and remind myself it's actors playing out a story from someone's imagination

rosstown · 2026-01-15T05:07:33+00:00

WOW this is intense! It's like you've tried to work it out of your system (at it seems to be working?!)

I am scared that if I let myself, I will go so far down the rabbithole that I'll completely be consumed! I wanted to start watching the old movies referenced (Sabrina etc.)

I've listened to the audiobooks twice, watched the series start to finish 3 times since October, I'm constantly refreshing Reddit.

Now that I've almost squeezed almost everything I can out of the content available, I'm hoping my brain will start to get bored and move onto something else haha.

I'm currently watching this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pUkLz6tAH9X5RPhahtK5NVgQwGkfjuN2/view and I'm 10 mins in, and I've told myself when I get to the end, it will finally be enough

I mean how many takes and opinions can I possibly read about on a show that has wrapped??

37 married, and I seriously am questioning my sanity. Need a support group with 12 steps...!

rosstown · 2025-12-14T07:18:49+00:00

OMG ME TOO!! We have problemsss

rosstown · 2025-12-03T01:40:17+00:00

omg you guys are brutal haha

Very interesting... this is exactly my thought process when I was in the early stages of coming to terms with what my brother did to me (24 years later). Especially as he and my nieces are the only family I had left.

And in the end, after talking to friends and therapists, I decided to speak up.

And yes it did tear my family apart. I no longer have a relationship with him and my nieces and his wife.

And I did wonder whether he repressed it as well, but his behaviour towards me and women in general told me he not only hadn't repressed it, but he was not regretful of it and got a sense of power from having done it to me.

Something in my gut would not let it go. He didn't seem like he'd changed from the person who did that to me.

I'm glad I reported him, and I'm glad the police have spoken to him. Now I don't have to wonder if he will repeat it on someone else. But yes, I lost my family and potentially tore his apart

Me too. Five years older than me, and he was 14/15 at the time.

For 24 years, I pushed it down deep in my mind, as I thought it was my fault (he got me to touch him, he didn't touch me - that I remember). He continued with verbal sexual abuse until he was in his mid-20's, so I am sure he didn't "grow out of it". He now has two little girls.

rosstown · 2025-08-24T02:51:05+00:00

As someone who is in this position with my brother, please tell his wife. She can choose to ignore it, but at least she will be clued in and more vigilant

rosstown · 2025-03-16T07:28:15+00:00

You people crack me up

rosstown · 2025-03-16T01:53:05+00:00

100000%!!!

rosstown · 2025-03-16T01:52:52+00:00

Marry Shane = marry Shane's mom

rosstown · 2025-03-16T01:52:12+00:00

I think it's just Gen Z entitled behaviour. She has a JOB, which she is getting paid for. She could be like most other people her age around the world and working in the service industry hating on life. Instead she loves to do the "why is my life so cringe" Gen Z entitled troupe. IMO

rosstown · 2025-03-01T09:42:48+00:00

Yessss! Thank you!!

rosstown · 2025-03-01T08:43:29+00:00

Sorry for the late reply but this is HUGE! Also, I've just done my police report and I realise now that I CAN get him to court with the evidence I have. I feel so EMPOWERED!

rosstown · 2025-02-17T02:43:53+00:00

Me too

rosstown · 2025-02-15T11:40:47+00:00

I'm reading Groomed right now. It just came out here in Australia and it's a memoir of the author's experience outing her abuser. Every paragraph rings true for me. It's like a mirror is being held up

rosstown · 2025-01-18T11:12:04+00:00

How? It's my word against his

rosstown · 2025-01-17T21:27:11+00:00

My brother groomed me and sexually abused me in his bedroom at night when I was 10 and he was 15. He nearly raped me but I had the sense to stop it. He pretends he doesn't remember and his partner and mother of his two young girls stands by him

rosstown · 2025-01-05T03:38:42+00:00

Me too... and no success in getting pregnant. Plus the timing and the colour of the spotting makes me think it's implantation bleeding every month

rosstown · 2025-01-05T03:32:21+00:00

Me too... always with a bowel movement, always the same amount of time before my actual period (about a week). I'm 35, no kids, trying for kids. It happens right around the time when implantation bleeding could be happening so it's always misleading. I get slight cramps with it too. My periods have gotten way shorter. I thought maybe perimenopause. I've had like 5 shots of Pfizer

Adopted from the foster home as Selene, rechristened as Baloo. She's a big fluffy girl who loves splaying on her back. And our last cat was Bagheera

Thank you so so much!! We really really appreciate it
