Richard Gadd writing imperfect survivors is so important to me. No one ever wants to think of survivors as fucked up in a way that isn't palatable or think of what happens if you don't have the resources to recover gracefully- they see it as a type of disrespect I think. I like a show that gives you a horrifying introspection to that. Trauma is something that will rot inside of you if you don't figure your shit out but a lot of people don't have the circumstances that allow them to do that. Or they don't have the language to even realize its happening. And like, people need to be aware of that. You think it can't happen to you but it can!! And the fact that half man specifically is all about the love can't be over looked. Like yeah, those are guys who could have been good if the situation was different but it wasn't. And love never made anyone more rational. And a lot of victims love their abusers. A lot of abusers love their victims. And it doesn't make it okay, but like again. You think it can't happen to you. But it can.
