Status Updates From When it Rains

Surprise, Brook!

Brook is about to be in for a hell of a surprise. Alison is so smug about this.

Brook is realizing just how Owen was very subtle in his mental and psychological abuse. It wasn't until it became physical and he did what he did that she left and realized how isolated he made her and how dependent she's been on him because he made her feel so unworthy. She's strong, though. She can begin again even though it is going to be hard.

That asshole even locked her out of most of their bank accounts. Seriously, what a dick.

What a small world!

I love you, Brook. That's right! You're not his bitch!

Owen is insane. Now he's making lists of her wifely duties including a sex schedule. He's completely lost it.

Smooth, Ryder.

That's right, lady! Take back your self!

That is not your fault, Brook!

In the trashcan?!

He really just did that. So sickening. So awful. Run, run away, Brook.

This asshole threw away her birth control.

Ali is a great friend. Six years of no contact and it's like they were never separated.

At least she seems to be coming around to the idea that her marriage is bad and that she needs to take care of herself first. Seriously, if her marriage falls apart, so be it.

No, Brooke. He did mean to completely cut you off from all support. He's kept you from your parents, your friends and now your bank accounts when he moved your money to another bank, hasn't told you the account number or given you a bank card. Now he's ordering you to have a kid he doesn't even want. Don't make excuses for him.

He really said something that shitty to her.

Owen is such a shit husband. At least Brooke got to reconnect with an old friend.

Ryder is really drawn to Brooke, but he sure has a bit of a negative view on himself. That makes me sad.
