Creatureshock- Instead of posting after yourself multiple times, could you consolidate your posts into one post? It makes the thread as a whole easier to read.

--- Quote from: sitnspin on 26 Aug 2014, 02:17 ---Again, I ask, what does Faye have to be angry about? Dora made a decision about her relationship with her brother. How does that negatively affect Faye? I know you are determined to blame Dora for something, anything, but I fail to see any rational basis for Faye to care what Dora does in relation to her own family.

Based on third hand information that was explained to her in short hand. If Dora had come to this after something Sven had done to her or in front of her, I'd be all kinds of ok with it. The fact that she did it this way and is now trying to hide the decision like a cat hiding a turd is what I have a problem with.

Because its not about Faye, its about Dora and her brother. What good comes of telling Faye about it? Not telling her is an attempt to avoid drama, not cause it. Not saying I agree with that decision, but is not a moral failing and it is not a slight against Faye. Really, it is none of Faye's business.

I can only say it from my position. Dora is Faye's best female friend (Marten being her best friend over all), and Dora not telling Faye about something this majorly significant action she is taking in her life, based on something that did not happen to Dora but to Faye, will probably piss Faye off. Faye has enough shit on her plate with Angus possibly moving and their relationship, the most healthy relationship she has ever had with someone outside of her family, becoming long distance or possibly forcing her to move (and I can almost guarantee she is thinking of that possibility) to be with the man she loves. And I have no qualms saying that she is in love with Angus. Two years going to a therapist for anger management issues because I realized I needed to get my shit under control, I can honestly say that I would be pissed off six ways to Sunday about this. I don't have a history of violence like Faye does, just verbal abuse bordering on artistic verbal hatred used as a weapon by several friends who are no longer in my life because they would do that to me. I have had to cut people out of my life because they were toxic users. Sven, at least as far as Dora goes, is not a toxic user of a person as best I've seen. Is he a fuck up that has sailed through life on a wind swept sea of horse shit? You betcha he has. Same with Jack Sparrow, half the characters Humphrey Bogart and Burt Reynolds have played. They weren't toxic. They were just assholes that everyone else let slide because of a cute smile, a way with words, and enough charisma to to get the Queen of England, Duchess of York and Dame Edna (I know, a bit of a stretch, but you put enough booze into them...) to drop their panties for them.
They are not toxic, just assholes.
sitnspin:
Toxic is relative. If a person hampers your growth and psychological recovery, that person is toxic to you and your well-being. You are not Dora, nor am I. Would Sven's behavior be toxic to me? No. I have a history of behavior fairly similar to his, but without the spoiled sense of entitlement. However, my issues are not her issues. I am assessing Dora's decisions from her perspective (as close as I can) not my own.
Dora is Faye's friend. Someone being your friend does not entitle you to every bit of data about them. They are not obligated to clue you in on every personal decision.
This isn't about Faye. This is about a long term on-going problem between Dora and Sven. It is a family matter. I really don't understand how you think it involves Faye.
