[Blacklabcollective] Complaint about Daryl

Fri Sep 16 17:14:54 PDT 2016

Bahahaha get over it Mick ;)

FYI - info from Jill, this went to Kate. Kate also believes that Daryl made
Jill quit want

Here is my update -

I just spoke with Jill.

I asked her about her relationship with Daryl. They are friends. She feels
that he can be mean and she has needed courage to talk to him about being a
dick. She was also going to bring up the negativity. After our conversation
she has decided to talk to him about this, she is bringing my name into it
for support and strength. I ok'd this. She says he is really depressed. Her
and Carson believe that the person Daryl posts a threat to is himself.  He
is very depressed and battles with suicidal thoughts. She also thinks
taking space away from him is a good idea and she intends to take that
space after their conversation. She is encouraging that he get counselling.

At the end of the conversation, she agreed to research emotional abuse and
consider how she is being treated, she acknowledged that he is sometimes an
angry and shitty friend, but she doesn't feel manipulated by him.

She is in another band without Daryl. He is supportive of her being in the
band. When I suggested that he might be possessive, she didn't agree.

Her reasons for leaving WANT are entirely related to how she feels she was
treated by the band, which she said was badly. She did not think badly of
anyone because of what anyone said about people in the band, but rather
because of the band members specific actions. She didn't agree with some of
the bands political stances and didn't feel that she was heard. She felt
disrespected.
