I can’t…. Like it’s so absurdly manipulative to respond to that first comment how she did… it’s basically guilting people into feeling like they can’t say ANYTHING even slightly negative, because it’ll remind her of TRAUMA and ABUSE.
Sofie can’t even just say they messed up and forgot to properly thank people, it has to be a THING. I caaaaaaan’t honestly.
Nail on head. It's so manipulative. There's nothing remotely abusive in what the person said, and yet it's been implied that their words are akin to being abusive because someone who abused Sofie has used similar phrases.
I am so sorry that Sofie has experienced abuse. I've also experienced abusive family members - I truly understand how an innocuous phrase can make you cold when said in a certain tone or with a certain look. But you can't lay that on people who have done you no harm, and it's not fair to read objectively harmless words in that way and share it with your followers like that.
I wonder if what really happened was that the message made Sofie feel guilty/ashamed and rather than owning it fully they wanted to justify their lack of public gratitude and take some of the sting out of it?
It's also a way to justify their really
crappy behaviour of blocking this person. A person who donated money towards hank's op in good faith and was feeling a bit put out.
Something else that's rattling me a bit is that they've not been transparent AT ALL about how much money she recieved in donations and what's happening to any surplus....
