Those last chapters were barely legible.
Overall - James is a son of a bitch. Disgusting rapist, neglectful, egotistical, egocentric, and I hope he burns in hell. (╬￣皿￣)凸
Poor Olivia. That is a very classic symptom of abuse - she always tries, even unconsciously, to justify his actions. ╥﹏╥
That is a self protection mechanism. She blames herself, trying to find a way to emotionally connect or gain some form of control over his abusive behaviour.
That this story describes so clearly that, and shows her processing her trauma and fighting against that pathological way of thinking deserves respect and recognition.
Fighting! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
