CB: Jesus maybe don’t blame the mother who’s been dead for like what a week? Maybe the blame should lie on the abuser? Then again I am paywalled so can only comment on the headline

My stepfather sexually abused me when I was a child. My mother, Alice Munro, chose to stay with himwww.thestar.com In the shadow of my mother, a literary icon, my family and I have hidden a secret for decades. It’s time to tell my story.

Jesus maybe don’t blame the mother who’s been dead for like what a week? Maybe the blame should lie on the abuser? Then again I am paywalled so can only comment on the headline

how about you stop blaming the actual victim for telling her story?

yeah we totally shouldn't blame the mother for *checking headline* staying with the man who abused her child. how could anyone blame the *checks headline* mother for staying with the man who abused her child. what mother would ever leave a man who abused her child? jesus

there is something deeply wrong with you and you should go and sit with why you are compelled to publicly defend a woman who ignored the sexual abuse of her child and continued to live with, praise, and FUCK the man who sexually abused her child.

Gosh, maybe save some of that vitriol for a child abuser rather than, I dunno, someone you’ve never met? Who is pointing to a long awful history in which (only) the mothers were named, shamed and held responsible for what their male partners did.

Her mother was responsible for her child’s safety and wellbeing? What the fuck are you even saying?

Then maybe don't comment since you've no idea what happened.

mommy was complicit, she made her choice

here's the unpaywalled version. her mother was shitty. archive.is/2024.07.07-1...

Thanks for sharing that. The details are *so* much worse than the summary.
