InTheCloset 15,654 Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 so my final thoughts on the show. beautifully done, the acting is really good. and it shows the honest picture of domestic abuse and how many forms it can take and how hard it can be to actually escape from it even though you know you are being or have been abused. its a spoiler but her mother staying kind of further shows the long term damage such conditions can have on a person. eventually such behavior can become normalized or the person can become accustomed to it. like she stays even though the new guy doesnt seem good. and i personally have been having a hard time and usually i would avoid watching such shows but it changed my perspective, that how many problems a person can have. it did not invalidate my experience or my problems but it made me realize that how lucky i am to have been sent to the best institutions and i actually have a chance of making it to another country. another thing i cant stop thinking about is the human nature. our inherent need for love. and love is defined biologically as a release of oxytocin but in behavioral sciences its defined as 'joy and acceptance', accepting a person for what they are n not the potential u see in them. and this gets tricky because many victims and abusers use this way of thinking and victims are often  guilted by others into accepting a person's bad behavior(the way her dad says that sean needs her the most at this time and she is leaving him). and how at times we are hoping and willing to make something work even though we know that it is bad for us. it is also very thought provoking. people, specially women go through it. sometimes we dont realize how lucky we are to have what we have. it is worth watching. i would definitely recommend it if you can stand it. beautifully done.

InTheCloset 15,654 Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 i also really liked what they did in episode 9. it was a new beginning for her again and it was juxtaposed with spring. at first when she arrives again at the shelter there are two (maybe 1) flowers and later as time goes by spring comes into full bloom. The abyss stares back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
