Also me: reads this book at 3am
A murky book that felt icky at times…but kind of profound, maybe? As someone whose work is centred around supporting people facing trauma and harm, it’s rare to see something representing how much that can affect our “fucked-up-ometer.” And also the camaraderie, trauma-bonding and dare I say, love, that you build with others doing that work.
It’s not all obvious PTSD, it’s shame, fantasising about being a hero, an inability to relax and just be. Being bored whenever things are quiet, fun and safe.
I’m lucky I’ve not had to do a job like this, for shitty pay like this. And with no mental health support. Seeing traumatic content, conspiracies and death day in, day out, has to do something to a person.
On that note, as a domestic abuse professional, it’s also important to see narratives showing that anyone is capable of harm in a relationship. Especially when their own thresholds and boundaries have been distorted.
Overall, it was a quick read but it’s left a mark.

It's well written but full of so many trigger flags, most of not all of them.
