Something else that I want to show in Violapse is like, the fear of other people finding out. Even when my abuser was doing awful things to me, I still wanted to protect him. My #1 priority at that time was to ensure that nobody found out what was happening, even though it would have been better and safer for me that way.
I want to explore in the comic why a person might feel that way, and what makes them stop feeling that way.
