anyway. I think the work may december does in illustrating how a perpetrator of violence can continue to view themselves as, if not a victim, then at least a passive party in the situation is remarkable. gracie’s insistence that joe pursued her, that she was the less mature party from the start, her meltdown about the canceled cake order that joe has to not only eat but act out enjoyment of in order to calm her down, her recollection of her brothers threatening boys who might have taken interest in her in adolescence, it’s all in the service of crafting her vulnerability, displacing her agency as a grown woman onto joe both at the beginning of their relationship and in the present. she becomes effectively another child for him to take care of in addition to the kids he has been responsible for since 14. the tell is of course in the control she maintains to present the situation as entirely of his doing—she has to feed the narrative framing to joe because it sits in such obvious contrast to his reality. “who was the boss?” is a question that answers itself as she tries to force him yet again to accept the lie of his childhood agency.

- God, I can't tell if we're connecting or if I'm creating a bad memory for you in real time, but I can't help it.
- No, we're connecting, Dad. It's okay. It's okay.
