Marvel's Cloak and Dagger "Back Breaker " 1x9 Reaction

It’s definitely not just the fact that Tandy saw her dad hit her mom. It’s that she didn’t KNOW (or repressed it/didn’t understand it because she was six when he died). Tandy built her understand of the world around this idea: “Everyone is awful, except for my dad the last good person in the world”. She lionized her father and demonized every other person. And now she’s confronted with the fact that her dad wasn’t a perfect human being while everyone else is rotten, but instead of changing to “There is good and bad out there you have to look” it changed to “EVERYONE is evil and what is the point of anything.” She acknowledges that she’s messed up and awful but everyone is so whatever. She’s spiraling because the pillar of “My dad was a perfect godlike being” that held up her already shitty psyche was just shattered.
