DM's victim impact statement ......
After reading (not listening) to DM's victim impact statement, I found myself having a hard time relating to what she was saying. Bc she wasn't aware of what was happening that night correct? She had no sense of danger or urgency to call 911.......
So I put myself in her & BF's shoes & thought how would I feel IF this happened to my roommates & I didn't do anything? Or suspect something was wrong.
I would be grappling with the fact I wasn't aware. I would question my entire reality & feel completely inept I didn't sense danger or something bad was happening? I would struggle with the decision I had not checked on my roommates. Get what I'm saying?
She talked being afraid to close her eyes bc if she blinked someone could be there. She stated she made exit plans in her mind in case something happened. She remarked about needing to find something to defend herself with. Asking who she could help. Her body reliving everything over & over.
This impact statement makes it seem she was THERE & AWARE of what was going on, the danger she & her roommates were in?
It would just make more sense if she said- I can't trust myself, I felt no danger, I pretended everything was ok when I went to BF room & played on my phone all night as if 4 people I loved were brutally murdered.
Anyways it just sorta seemed IMO she played the part she thought she had to & put herself in the moment of witnessing & being aware of what was happening instead of relating to her actual experience of what happened.
Hope I make sense 🤣
PS- not a proberger, not a quilter, not a DM/BF hater, just some lady who is looking at everything & making a comment on something that struck me as odd ♡
