#mystuff
#if there be thorns
#flowers in the attic
#the dollanganger series
#this book is so crazy cathartic
#bc it tackles the issue of cycles of violence and attempting to heal in such a raw way
#ALL OF IT SO CATHY CAN FINALLY ACCEPT CORRINE'S FORGIVENESS
#its SO GOOD
#ITS SO LAYERED
#ITS SO MESSY
#ITS SO DAMN CATHARTIC THAT I ALMOST CRIED AT WORK
#if corrine was truly like bart then she was someone who didn't know how to be herself so she became whoever made her strong
#AND FOR BOTH OF THEM THAT PERSON WAS MALCOLM ugggh
#i get that this book is hard to get through bc bart is such a difficult character
#but i had so much sympathy for him bc he is just too sensitive and too imaginative and possibly on the spectrum? idk
#i totally see how john amos could claw his way into his psyche and turn him on to his worst impulses
#BUT ITS CHRIS AND CATHY'S EMPATHY AND COMPASSION THAT WON OUT
#bart is keeping them locked in as his little mice ( GOD THIS WHOLE SEQUENCE IS A LOT)
#but always he's thinking how this is all wrong and he does love them
#if there be thorns is insane
#u read flowers and petals JUST to get to the family dynamics in thorns i think
