Oh, Kay. Babygirl. I believe men like this intentionally (or subconsciously) put themselves in jobs where they can take advantage of open young women like you. And you’re so right, we are taught that if an older man likes us, that’s the pinnacle of romance, of our worth. We’re so smart, they say! An old soul, even! Blegh to all that that. You unpacked this all beautifully, but you still kept it grounded. I loved the part where your heart fell into your ass. You didn’t have to make that so funny but it’s just how it feels sometimes, you were speaking truth and I got a good chuckle. I can’t wait for more writing of yours.
That nightfall segment read like waking up abruptly from a dream. I mean that in a good way. Actually triggered the memory of a hypnagogic dream I had somewhat recently.
“What I understand about this whole situation now is not a mystery, it’s clear to me as a 33-year-old woman. This was a strange power imbalance moving at a slow enough molasses pace to look like intimacy to me. “ THIS part! reflection on such situations as an adult now can be sickening, makes me ache. thank you for sharing, for laying a challenging situation from your past bare, even if it’s just a derivative of a slightly different scenario. <3

“A collapsing of roles that felt like intimacy but didn’t announce itself as such.” Bar.
