About The Inner Circle and Nesta

So I want to make it clear that this post is NOT anti-Nesta. I happen to find her character interesting and complex, and I am hopeful for her journey in ACOFAS. I also want to clarify that I understand that her behaviour is a response to trauma. However, that doesn't mean that the inner circle should simply take it. They are all survivors of abuse. Mor with her family, Cassian with the Illyrians, Azriel with the Illyrians and his own family. Rhysand with the Illyrians and the 50 years of abuse and rape under Amarantha. The inner circle's members are so close to one another because they love and support each other. Feyre made a place within their ranks because she accepted their help and offered support in return. It was all healthy exchanges and positive exchanges. It is the same way with Elain. She is lovely and nice to others. She let them approach, making it easy to like her and offer her the support she needs. On the other hand, Nesta is hurting and using coping mechanisms that are unhealthy and hurtful towards others. Furthermore, she is a brilliant woman who knows what to say to hurt people (throwback to the Sidra Scene). Anyway, my point is that Nesta and the inner circle have no positive interaction and that the inner circle has no incentive to treat her the same way they did with Feyre and Elain. And even if they did, it would be catastrophic because the way they do things clash with where Nesta is right now. We can easily see that with Feyre. She has good intentions, but she is doing more harm than good. Trauma is different for everyone. Healing is different for everyone. And sometimes people can't be there for us on our journey. It doesn't make them bad people. It just makes them people that can't be there for us, people that can give us what we need. I just want to say that you don't have to be anti-anyone. Everyone in the series is flawed and trying their best.  Unfortunately, it's not enough, and it can even do more harm.
