Faye keeping secrets may not be the best thing for her, but she's got a good corner man in the form of Bubbles. Bubbles is not judgemental, not the kind to interfere in business that isn't hers.
You can't buy friends like that, they gotta be earned.
Stoutfellow:
I don't see Faye as keeping a secret here; she's just exhausted, and not up to having that conversation right now. I'll lay odds she'll tell Marten about it in the morning.
Is it cold in here?:

For certain you're right. If she's not still seeing Dr. Buenvenida then she should start again immediately.

--- Quote from: chris73 on 06 Jul 2016, 17:20 ---For me its her behaviour towards Marten has always seemed to me to one of a bully and an abuser and while I get that Marten has brought it on himself there were also times when she'd start to bully Claire and all because Faye Had A Traumatic Experience, whereas I'd rather see more stuff like Marten dealing with the issues of dating Claire

This post suggests to me that you've not spent a lot of time around people who are damaged, or if you have that they are people who have dealt with it extremely well. If my father had killed himself in front of me when I was a child I would doing all the drugs to cope with that information. That would cause tremendous psychological damage. People who lash out at others aren't necessarily just assholes. Few actually are at all. They've been through things that have caused them to push others away when they want to accept them. I work with at risk teenagers and I can tell you, I wish even half of them were as pleasant as Faye is as often as she is. Faye is in most senses still a teenager herself. Matter of fact she is mostly lashing out at herself rather than others. Other people are just collateral damage.

I get that going through traumatic experiences can screw people all the way up, but being damaged is no excuse for lashing out at people, especially with little or no provocation. Many people have no tolerance for that kind of behavior (remember, even Jeph himself has said he wouldn't like a real-life Faye). They find out the person acting like an asshole towards them is damaged, they are likely to just consider them a damaged asshole.
Faye and others like her need extensive and ongoing therapy if they have any hopes of living a normal life.

Hmmm. It's got enough tensile strength not to break when I throw it, but the aerodynamics are iffy. Wonder if I could hit the quarry from here?
