stéphane used to be my legal guardian. it was only for a couple of years, three perhaps. it wasn't a problem back then, except now he can't let go of the role. it's a balance that needs to be toed - easier in the professional context, harder elsewhere.
i can't tell you how you're supposed to feel, jean louis. i shouldn't. i don't want to. it's not my job. the experience was yours, you felt what you felt, thought what you thought.
but do you remember the discussion we had, about my proposition? before christmas? about power dynamics and authority in sexual relationships? and about why i think it's important to legislate about these things? well, this is why. regardless of how it has or hasn't affected you specifically, such a situation would be difficult and dangerous to navigate for anyone.
you have so many thoughts about sexual power dynamics. it's interesting, if a bit confusing. i won't tell you what to think, either, that's very much your own business. coffee is also not a necessity - if nothing else, we can do it without you. it's fine.
