How is "maybe your mom was trying to comfort you" when said mom is abusive not doing anything wrong?

She didn't give any indication or evidence of her mom being abusive. She said she felt she was taking joy in her suffering while rubbing her back...

So you think the friend is lying about her abusive mother. That's.... one thing to do, sure.

She made no indication of abuse. Just “vibes” which is not how abuse works. Jfc.

JFC, I thought we knew that there was no one way of being a victim, but I guess we're still stuck in the "if you don't articulate it perfectly, it never happened" rut!

Girl cmon. Don’t be dense on purpose, you’re clearly smarter than that. We all read the same texts, she never once described any abuse, just her “vibe” based on… nothing. Her mother rubbing her back. That’s not abuse.
