RUN

My mom loved Valium and lots of drugs That's why I am like I am 'cause I'm like her Because my mom loved Valium and lots of drugs That's why I'm on what I'm on 'cause I'm my mom

My mom, my mom, I know you're probably tired Of hearin' 'bout my mom, oh-ho, whoa-ho But this is just a story of when I was just a shorty And how I became hooked on Va-aliu-um Valium was in everything, food that I ate The water that I drank, fuckin' peas in my plate She sprinkled just enough of it to season my steak So every day I'd have at least three stomachaches

-MY MOM, EMINEM

I remember the first time i heard about the Gypsy Rose case, and i was fascinated. When the TV Miniseries THE ACT came out, i only watched a few episodes before i had to stop. As a human still dealing with a mentally ill mom and toxic stress that is direct result, this one hits extra close to home. well not to close but close enough. Any who enough about me, lets talk about this movie.

basically this movie is slowly figuring out all the fucked up shit Sarah Paulson's character has done, and her daughter trying to escape the house. thats about it plot wise. That being said, there are still lots of great moments of tension. and of course Sarah Paulson is perfect as the mentally ill mother character. every time she is on screen i find myself yelling at the TV for her to fuck off and die. She perfectly captures the mentality of someone who would do something like that. So much of her mannerisms and dialogue feel way to close to home for me in the best way possible.

This movie also dose a great job of showing how parents really own there kids, and how people dont often believe kids when they are in trouble. People like to think that they know each other, and that someone they know would never do anything to hurt there own family.

aint that some scary shit? Promise i will do something a bit more light ad a lot less personal next time

You're not my real dad/10
