Fleeing the Plantation

[user328]

The main flying monkey, a repeat single mother and career charity case in her 40s, even expressed shock and dismay at one dressing down the stepmother gave me when we were alone together afterwards. This woman has a weak personality despite her superiority complex, however, and wouldn't risk losing the material benefits she derives from being friends with the stepmother to stick up for me.

Come to think of it, this person privately harbored some of the same grievances against the stepmother that I do. She remains (trauma) bonded to the stepmother though, because the stepmother does things for her and her kids that she can't afford to do herself.
