I like this take and largely agree with him that Sonja starts out as the villain but that Dorland eventually joins her in the mud and you can’t ignore that.

I have a lot of empathy for Dorland because I experienced something somewhat similar a while back, and I cannot describe here how strong that feeling of wanting redemption/revenge is. In my case, the women who hurt me were unquestionably friends, as well as professional colleagues. What they did felt like a deep rejection of me both personally and professionally and it messed me up a lot— I still talk about this situation in therapy years later. Reading Bad Art Friend and threads like this are both triggering and cathartic. I have accepted that this will probably be something that marks me in one way or another for the rest of my life.

So I understand why Dorland went scorched earth in trying to get back at Sonja. I know that feeling of righteous rage so well I can taste it. But the difference between Dawn and I is that I ultimately didn’t go down that road. I had some private fits about it, I demanded loyalty from my closest friends (something I am now both embarrassed by and also still feel was necessary?), but that’s where it ended. I cut those women out of my life, distanced myself from anyone who might support them, and did my best to move on. It sucked! I still fantasize about them getting their comeuppance, and still sometimes check in on them online to see if karma has done any work on my behalf.

But I didn’t sue and I didn’t go public and watching what Dorland is going through now, I am glad I had the sense to move on.[/quote]

You do know that Dawn countersued, right? That Sonya sued her first. [/quote]
