Watching Maid on Netflix

[Anonymous]

Anybody else so upset when watching this? It is so accurate in the way that it depicts the spiral of everything going wrong when you are all alone with young children and have no stability.

I cried every episode but I LOVED it.

It also accurately portrayed the lengths a mother will go to for her child.

I watched it and it was really eye opening how hard it can be for someone to pull themselves up when everything and everyone in their life is pulling them back down.

There’s a long thread about it from a few months ago. I recommend this one gets locked and you join the other one. It was a good thread.

I wouldn’t know how to find it. Anyway I’m a mom who left an abusive relationship with young children and finding it so relatable. So much went wrong afterwards and sometimes it seems the only victory is not having returned. All this “you got this” and “you go girl” garbage is so meaningless when you don’t got this, when your life is objectively worse in many ways, when your kids suffer for your choices, when there is no real support beyond lip service bc you’re alone; when there is no partner, no safety net or redundancy in the system esp if you get sick or can’t work; when you have flashbacks of both the stability and of the abuse. It’s a lot sometimes just to keep going.
