honestly kind of gross to paint a woman who was raped and groomed as some sort of liar or sociopath when she clearly created theranos as a trauma response (and motivated by Balwani). is she innocent? no, ofc not. but it feels a little weird to paint her as some villain.
when i was six, armed robbers came to rob us at night. my dad instinctively went into self-defense mode with a cutlass before he even realized they had guns.
luckily, my great grandmother was sitted in the sitting when they released rounds at my dad, but in the blink of an eye she raised her hand up and the bullets turned to groundnuts and she caught them, and immediately disarmed the robbers and turned their guns to bananas and we all ate it as our night food
So many people in the replies talking about how they used to fantasize about dying by the hands of their parents when they were children, just so their parents would feel just a little bit of guilt
Yet people still think beating children is just discipline and not abuse.
