What would you do if you have parents toxic like Beatrice and butterscotch horseman?
I happened to have parents that would take 20 sleeping pills try to “suicide” when things don’t go their way. Growing up, I realized where the low confidence, insecurity and pessimism are coming from. I’ve fought really hard to be happy and thanks to people that I’ve met in my life.
So I’m wondering, if any of you that watched the show grew up in a toxic family and how do you find your happiness? For me, it’s isolation and let go. It’s sad knowing that it would never be a family but you just can’t change people.
As a child I watched cartoons, sitcoms, and stand-up comedy
As an adult I studied psychology, anthropology, and speech
I always try to analyze how/why people are the way they are, so I could at least understand the “patterns”
Once I felt i understood something, it just became “part of life”, another thing to write stories, songs, and jokes about. I can make peace with it then…the rest is just not following the bad patterns
Its not a complete formula, but it’s done me so much good compared to “raging at everything” or “wallowing in sadness”
