The court-appointed lawyer who had been with me for thirteen years had never
been much help, but during the pandemic, I started to wonder whether maybe I
could use him to my advantage. With a prayerlike consistency, I began to speak
to him twice a week, just to meditate on my options. Was he working for me, or
for my father and Lou?
While he talked around the issue, I’d think, You don’t seem to believe in what I
know: I know where I’m going with this. I’m going all the way to end it. I can tell
you’re not going to get this done.
Finally, I hit a turning point. There was honestly no more that he could do
for me. I had to take control.
I had stayed quiet publicly about the whole thing, but I was praying in my
head for it to end. I mean real prayer…
So on the night of June 22, 2021, from my home in California, I called 911 to
report my father for conservatorship abuse.
The time between when I started pushing hard to end the conservatorship
and when it nally ended was a rough period in limbo. I didn’t know how things
would turn out. Meanwhile, I couldn’t say no to my dad or make my own way
yet, and it felt like every day there was another documentary about me on yet
another streaming service. This was what was going on when I learned that my
sister would be coming out with a book.
I was still under my father’s control. I couldn’t say anything to defend myself.
I wanted to explode.

Chapter 46 of *The Tenant of Wildfell Hall*, titled “Friendly Counsels”, delves into the protagonist’s complex emotional landscape as he grapples with the ramifications of Mrs. Graham’s (Helen Huntingdon) secret refuge at Wildfell Hall. Battling the urge to reveal her true circumstances to his family, he decides against it, fearing the societal repercussions and specifically, Eliza Millward’s potential to spread the information maliciously. His protective stance towards Mrs. Graham not only isolates him socially, leading to strained familial relations and friendships, but also cements his reputation as blindly infatuated and obstinately loyal to her. Despite the social ostracization and internal turmoil, he unwaveringly defends Mrs. Graham’s name, promising eventual vindication.

The narrative also explores his deepening bond with Mr. Lawrence, Mrs. Graham’s brother, whose illness and convalescence afford the protagonist a means to remain connected to her. His interactions with Lawrence highlight a shared, but painfully restrained, affection for Mrs. Graham, albeit manifesting differently in each. The protagonist’s almost visceral response to Lawrence’s resemblances to his sister underscores his profound attachment and unwavering devotion to her.

A significant portion of the chapter is dedicated to an encounter with Lawrence post-recovery, where the protagonist learns of Lawrence’s risky visit to Mrs. Graham. Their conversation shifts towards Lawrence’s reluctant revelations about his sister’s wellbeing, further emphasizing the protective, yet restrictive bounds of their familial relationships and friendships.

The dialogue culminates in a confrontation regarding Lawrence’s potential marital prospects with Jane Wilson, revealing the protagonist’s intense disapproval and concern for Lawrence’s future. His unsolicited, albeit earnest advice to Lawrence about Jane Wilson’s character and their unsuitability as partners exposes his broader anxieties over relationships and the potential for disillusionment and heartbreak.

Through introspective dialogue, strained interactions, and the protagonist’s steadfast allegiance to Mrs. Graham, Brontë portrays the intricate web of social expectations, personal loyalty, and the enduring hope for redemption and mutual understanding amidst societal judgement and personal sacrifices.
