Mother dearest (SPOILERS)


So to "protect" her daughter from whatever, the mom destroys her life... why? Whats the reasoning behind it? So she wouldnt go to Brown and force herto live with her forever?

Not only did she ruin the relationships of all of her friends, she almost her daughter a crazy person.. was it worth it at the end? Im surprised shes not in the mental hospital. And the husband most likely left cause shes CRAZY, not because of miscarriages.

Sadly, this happens in real life now with cyber bullying and what can you do if you found out it was your own MOTHER

I think it makes sense, it happens all the time
smothering the kids to protect them
it is not right but it happens, she based her whole life around her lil daughter and she had no life away from her
so she did what she did to keep her around coz she was so obsessed with her own daughter with no husband or family
and I think she was in mental hospital, the talking abt her dozes and that stuff indicated that unless that place is not what u mean.

In the end she was in a mental hospital.

It was almost like munchausen by proxy at the end....
She was ok as long as Cat was near her, so that she could take care of her. As soon as the acceptance letter came, it dawned on her that Cat was going away... Far away. And she snapped. So she did all that she could to keep her near. She wasn't out to destroy her life compleatly, just have her broken and stay at some comunity college. Then Cat would have lived at home, and she could have taken care of her.

It was only a matter of time though until she would have gone craze, Cat meeting a boy, wanting to move out, getting a job somewhere else etc...

Exactly what I thought. She practically shoved the antidepressant down her throat. I didn't even believe her when she was telling her daughter's doctor that she had a history of anxiety. The daughter was looking at her like "WTF?!".

My mother is like that. She has issues... For years she came between every relatinship i had, my dad, my friends, my girlfriend. She needs to "keep me close" and will just do random things to make that happend. She has never gone totally crazy like this film, but watching it gave me chills due to so many things from my childhood. 😨
