you're right. and reading it as a survivor this comes across fairly clearly, albeit disturbingly. not something i would recommend reading to most other survivors i know. it's also not something i would want a non-survivor to read, because if someone has not experienced this, it's extremely difficult to relate to, and could contribute to victim-blaming.

i think it's almost an impossibly fine line to walk, writing about incest/abuse and the conflicted emotions involved without portraying it as if the victim not only does want it, but does deserve it. i'm not saying it was bad writing, or that it won't speak to some people in some sort of positive, or good way...i.e.validating their reality. i also would like to stress that i don't dislike you or your other writing. i just don't like this piece.
