As a child I was groomed by a man in my village and I see a lot of similarities between the way bj and my groomer acted. Do you guys think bojack intended to do something with penny for what ever reason and groomed her? ( reminds her of Charlotte at an early age/ makes it feel like he’s back in his youth?) or was it an opportunity taken impulsively?
Ha. The family friend thing sounds like my situation and didn’t even connect those dots. I remember the first moment where I think he stood there debating if he was gonna assault me. Poor impulse control, history of extensive trauma, unchecked anger issues and substance abuse… those are all risk factors for committing acts of sexual violence. BoJack would definitely have let his impulses get the best of him if Charlotte didn’t walk in.
I have an almost identical experience, it’s a horrible and vile thing to go through. I’m sorry it happened to you too. (It always feels so pointless to say sorry for horrible trauma, I wish there was something better to say)
Yeah, everything points to the fact that Bojack would have gone through with it.
