Joined the group just to say my teen daughter is absolutely in love with the show…as soon as she finishes it she starts it again. Admittedly she tried to get me to watch it this past week but with Thanksgiving and a busy life I didn’t really have time to watch much. She struggles with self harm and depressive moods, we are trying to get her help she’s in therapy and on some meds we are trying for mood stabilizing as well as ADHD. I’m just curious as someone who really doesn’t know that much about the show is she trying to tell me something? Is it something to worry about or is it cathartic? She literally watches is it over and over and in most of her spare time.
I have PTSD and depression and have told my dad so much about why I love the show and how much it means to me. Breaks my heart a bit that he won’t watch a bit of it for me.
My cousin literally sent their parents documentaries and films on being non binary and their parents didn’t bother to watch any of it which hurt my cousins feelings a lot.
I think your daughter is trying to share part of herself with you through art. That’s a good thing. I find it to be a wonderfully cathartic show at coping with the abuse I faced as a child and my current addiction issues. It makes you want to be better yet validates the parts of you you believe are shit.
