Field Journal [POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR FIRST-TIME READERS, READ AT OWN RISK!!!]:
-*jazz hands* overly controlling unhealthy coping mechanismmmmm. Also beating herself up immediately about it ‘being her fault’ and auuugh. It’s all so fucked.
“[Look], I put a lot of [work] into creating an environment to stimulate you and [to keep you busy] we both [know you need to(?)] stay out of trouble [but I can’t] watch you 24/7 especially now [that I have to] run the whole entire place, which is [for] you, all [on my] own. The least you could [do] is show some respect [for] all my work…”
I think I got it all :achilles-serious:
**Spoilers**
Another reference to Clair “making” this place despite later contradicting that.
Any time someone says something like that, the for you is really for me. If it was really for Chloe, what Chloe has been saying would be more important. There would be a discussion. “Well, Chloe, what do you want?”
Claire might *intend* for it to be for Chloe, but without communicating with Chloe about what is actually wanted/needed, at best it’s for Claire’s mental model of who Chloe is. If this is taking place where it feels like and these people relate to each other the way it seems to me they are, it’s even more frustrating and more sad that Claire doesn’t have the capacity to do that righ t now. But by the description of the comic I got from the link that sent me here, as well as the blurb at the start of the comic (which were more or less the same), this was never going to be an entirely healthy dynamic.
To be clear, I realize this is a mental health journey depiction, and those never really start out in a good place. It feels like this is starting out in an attempt to be in a good place, but ultimately one that’s seriously lacking. I mean, it’s probably the best that could be done at this point, but that’s because stuff sucks.
Ok, sure, I think most of us start out in a pretty good spot. But then we’re born and it’s all down hill from there. But that’s not where a mental health journey starts. Those start near a rock bottom. Also, I don’t mean the restaurant chain.
