Chapter 9 - Bianca Tried To Make Lucy Look “Unstable”
Once lawyers became involved, Bianca’s strategy changed.
She claimed Lucy had behavioral problems.
She produced messages she had sent me for months.
Lucy lied again.
Lucy had another meltdown.
Lucy is becoming obsessive about Marcus.
She keeps inventing stories when she doesn’t get attention.
Standing alone, the messages looked concerning.
Together with my replies?
Worse.
Talk to her.
She’s probably adjusting.
Try not to engage when she gets dramatic.
I had unknowingly helped Bianca build a written narrative.
Lucy says something.
Bianca labels it behavior.
I agree without checking.
Repeat.
My attorney looked at the messages and said:
“She wasn’t only managing Lucy. She was managing your interpretation of Lucy.”
Exactly.
That was Bianca’s real strength.
She did not need to control the truth.
Only the person deciding what the truth meant.
