Thoughtful Cruelty

  • Post author:Magda Gee
  • Post published:August 7, 2021
  • Post category:Musings

I obssess reflect regularly on how my reactions to trauma: insecurity, shame, and depression were treated harshly, by the people on whom I counted most. I was openly and collectively…

A quote on a dark, stormy abstract background that reads: When it comes to abusive behavior, if they know to hide it, they know it's wrong. If they don't do it in front of other people, they know how to control it.

Beyond Conflict: Identifying the Patterns of Coercive Control in Family Dynamics

Coercive control is a strategic pattern of behavior used to dominate another person and strip away their sense of autonomy. It is not defined by a single violent event, but by a continuous web of intimidation, isolation, and micro-regulation of the

Woman with half her face visibly distressed and tearful, the other half covered by a composed mask of her own face, symbolizing emotional masking and how composure is rewarded while distress is invalidated.

When “What Are You So Angry/Upset About?” Isn’t Actually Concern

I’m finally recognizing how validity gets measured not necessarily by the truth of what’s said, but by the composure of the person saying it. My sister recognized this dynamic early on. As someone deeply sensitive and reactive, I was easy

Closed interior door with a narrow line of light beneath it, representing the experience of being shut out while continuing to endure, witness, and remain present.

Scapegoating and the Cost of Speaking Up

The Truth That Cannot Be Erased For over a decade, this space has been my witness. For a multitude of reasons, outside of what has been designated as my willfullness and lack of gratitude, I have never been a pleasing

Quote image: “If you’re not at the table, you’re probably on the menu.” Exclusion, scapegoating, triangulation, and black-sheep labeling in family and social systems.

Dissent and Discipline: Understanding Family Dynamics

The Binary World I Grew Up In In my family, things weren’t simply liked or disliked—they were either the best or the worst. No middle ground, no “not for me.” If you didn’t love something, you had to hate it.

Text image reading: “Trauma Bonding can make you terrified of ‘losing’ your abuser. Just keep in mind that you’ll also be losing the gaslighting, the sleepless nights, the knots in your stomach while they were ignoring you, the feeling of being blamed, and the stress of holding onto something that always felt like it was slipping away."

Trauma Bond: Addiction to the Abuser 

Across my closest relationships—mother, sister, husband, children—harm was never something to repair. It wasn’t acknowledged as harm at all, but reframed as my perception, my fault, my failure. Peace was never on offer. If I stayed, there was no peace.

Quote about false narratives created by people who cause harm to avoid accountability for their actions.

The Quiet Logic of Exile

In connecting with other survivors of similar dynamics, I’m recognizing a pattern that seems less personal and more structural. In families and systems which rely on scapegoating, it’s apparently simpler to remove a wounded person than to acknowledge and repair

Text reads: “Be cautious of connections that feel like home if home wasn’t always a safe place for you.” A reflective image representing emotional awareness and healing from relational trauma.

When the Story Writes Itself

I can’t deny how “clean” and persuasive the narrative against me can look. That’s what happens when people of similar energetic makeup benefit from the same imbalance — the same rupture without repair. The story writes itself. I’m learning to

Overhead view of a chessboard highlighting a pawn in the foreground, with the queen and other pieces behind, symbolizing the contrast between visible power and hidden consequences in social and familial dynamics.

If X, Then Y: The Game Beneath the Board

I continue noticing how this pattern shows up at every scale. We’re taught to admire extreme wealth as proof of virtue — intelligence, discipline, superiority, deservingness. The story goes: They have more because they earned more. Which quietly implies the
