One of those daft things going through my mind - was in a buffet place in Manchester earlier in the year. Coming in i came in behind a bloke with a girl, both youngish. She paid, but looking at the whole situation it was absolutely evident that he was a pimp for this girl. I kept seeing them and it was clear she wasn’t allowed to eat whilst he was, she went out and was absolutely shaking, wasn’t sure if it was terror or withdrawal.
Sat here this morning thinking about how she’s spending Xmas and feeling so guilty about not doing or saying anything on that day. By not challenging it did I do nothing but excuse it? But then, what exactly could I have done, or would I have done nothing but add fuel to the fire.
It’s a tough one. It’s not tearing me apart but again just trying to write and rationalise it.
