i'm watching it now, near the end.
my take on it is this.
she was a young, insecure girl who had had alot of emotional upset and upheaval in her life very recent to this happening.
an adult in a position of trust also happened to be a predator and he groomed her
he was successful and as a 14 year old child she became a victim of sexual grooming.
he worked his 'magic' on her brain and played on the fact that her parent's didn't care about her like he did. she beleived this as from the age of 14 she had no other influences giving her a varied opinion on her situation.
she was manipulated and abused and her family/community seemed to write her off as this being her fate.
i think people knew where she was and i think none of them believed her to be there against her will. quite honestly i dont know if she felt herself as though she was there against her will until it was all over and she had others dripping into her ear. i think she has realised since coming out just how much of a victim she was.
and yes, it doesn't surprise me that some find it hard to like her, she isn't a natural version of herself. she spent 10 years living with only 1 person to form and mould her personality and now she's trying to be a normal person in society as well as trying to come to terms with what was done to her and how people have treated her since then.
i feel very sorry for this woman.
