And their logic was one moment wasn’t enough to prove Cat was okay to Jon all her life, but it was enough to prove she was a child abuser! I just.. I cannot fathom that logic.
Yeah, it should be neutral at best. But yano, if she was usually that bad to Jon it’s awfully funny that Jon never thinks of those occasions at all despite clearly not blocking her out of his memory. Whenever he does think about her he thinks about … basically dirty looks. I feel for him, truly, but that’s not abuse.And I don’t think child abuse squares with the fact that Catelyn thinks in her own monologue how Benjen could look out for Jon at the Wall (I’m not saying she’s overly concerned or gives that huge of a damn or that she deserves a blue ribbon for this, but … does it square with a history of abuse? I don’t think so).
And I don’t think it squares with Robb being able to believe Jon when he said that Cat was kind to him. I don’t really buy that Jon would just never tell anyone, not even Robb, that Cat was abusing him for 14 years.
She was distant and she failed in her attempt to get over her anger at Ned and displaced it on to Jon, but 99% of the time she did not act on that anger in inappropriate ways. While she doesn’t deserve a blue ribbon or a ticker tape parade, neither does she deserve a lynch mob.
ACCURATE. I mean, the way some people act, you’d think that Cat Stans clap with glee when Cat says she wishes Jon had fallen from the tower instead of Bran. But um, no. We recognize that she did something bad and we’re not praising her for her actions. But like, claiming that Cat was abusive towards Jon is ridiculous.
