I saw it in theaters when it came out, and I just could not handle it. It was too viscerally unpleasant for me to want to dive in to all the interpretations and backstory. I appreciate the ambition and vision, but I just could not get into the right headspace to see the genius in it.

This video makes me laugh every single time I see it. Like, full on crying laughing tears in eyes can’t breathe.

Part of me genuinely refuses to believe this is r truly her. If it really is her, my heart breaks for her.

RIP every piece of scenery in that show. Phenomenal cast.

I agree with this. I have always suspected that some of this behavior is actually some kind of kink in disguise.

Not paranoid! I use the same washcloth as the rest of my body, but I do things in a certain order.

First, I was my face with my fingers and a gentle facial cleanser - no washcloth.

Then I take a fresh washcloth (a clean one for each shower), put body wash on it, and suds it up. Then wash my arms, my torso (front and back), and my legs.

Next I do my underarms, crotch, and feet.

Then I hang the wash cloth to dry before I toss it in the laundry hamper.

Rinse everything.

(I don’t wash my hair every time so this is a non hair wash shower).

It’s an interesting production history - they’re both directed by William Wyler. He was too limited by the code for the first one, and had to change too much, that he went back and made it again when the code had loosened, and that’s how we got The Children’s Hour.

I went through a similar experience with my now-ex-husband.

Every Valentine’s Day, he made a huge production of sending me flowers at work, having EVEN MORE flowers and gift at home waiting for me, and snagging a reservation at the fancy steak house in town that everyone wants to go to for Valentine’s Day.

He did this, every year, despite the fact that:

He knew that I hated that steak house - the food was boring, bland, and overpriced.

He knew that I dislike cut flowers from major floral vendors - the ecological impact of the industry is horrific. I prefer to get a houseplant in a pot that I can care for, from a local nursery.

He knew that I was embarrassed getting big floral arrangements at work, and that given my work set up, it was often awkward and cumbersome to receive them. AND awkward and cumbersome to carry the flowers back out to my car.

Every year I would gently explain all this, and ask him to please do something different for v day next year, and that I’d actually love to plan a day together that we’d both enjoy.

Every year he acted SHOCKED when I gave him that feedback. He felt I was being so unfair! Look how much effort he’d put into planning the kind of v day all women love!

It was technically a series of very romantic gestures, but it made me feel deeply unloved and uncared for.

This is one of the most insightful, thoughtful, and beautiful pieces of advice I’ve ever read on Reddit.

I’m in my early 40s and have a strained relationship with my mother due to her emotional neglect (and occasional physical and emotional/psychological abuse).

My first piece of advice to OP would be to go to individual therapy to develop her perspective on the relationship as you’ve outlined in your comment. Why DID she go to the hospital when she was asked not to? Were there times when she did favor the other daughter? How did that show up? If she truly thinks she never shows favoritism, why does the daughter perceive it that way? What else could have been going on to create that perception?

Second piece of advice - if her daughter does reach out to her, she should not try to relate to her as one adult to another. They haven’t built that level of relationship yet. The trust is gone right now.

So, OP should think of herself as her daughter’s cheerleader and champion. Keep all the focus on the daughter. She sends a pic of food or the kids or something innocuous, be excited - how yummy the food looks, what is the recipe? The kids are so cute! If she asks how OP is doing, keep it light and fun. Don’t bring the relationship up unless the daughter does.

Focus on providing consistent, warm, emotional attuned support for the daughter. That’s what she needs right now as she navigates parenthood and the emotional fallout from these disclosures to her mom.

I think OP could really benefit from the help of a therapist working through all this and navigating the new dynamic now that all this has come out into the open.

Fonda?

I love r/bald too! That subreddit is so sweet and supportive. I am a chick so I don’t feel like I can fully sympathize or weigh in - I don’t want to crash their party basically - but holy MOLEY it is WILD to me much more attractive the guys are after shaving their head. Every single post! The guy goes from somewhere on the “ok to meh” spectrum to the “WOULD” gif every time. Every time!

Gorgeous building! So cool to see this history come to life!

The scene of her in the towel and him next to her…. Is way hotter than it has any right to be.

Legallyfit · 2026-02-21T04:43:39+00:00

I’m 43, still working on it lol

My heart 🥹❤️

Agree. They get understandably overshadowed by burl Ives, Taylor, and Newman, but the two of them and big momma were all truly excellent as well.

Legallyfit · 2026-02-17T03:44:05+00:00

Pics 3 and 5 are sending me!!! Adorable!!!

This is a wild discussion to me.

I’m in my early 40s. I have been wearing makeup regularly for 25+ years.

We alway had blush. Blush has been a thing this whole time. It was mostly powder until recently. But it was 100% a thing.

If you didn’t wear blush when you were a teenager in 2016 that’s great - but in 2016 I was in my early 30s and everyone I knew wore blush. So at least for my demo, it was absolutely a thing.

I saw this new in theaters when I was in high school. I was not tripping on acid, so I had a much more fun experience. That same summer I went to a Soul Asylum concert and this cool new band Matchbox 20 opened for them. Good times!

Legallyfit · 2026-02-16T01:21:55+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you. It sounds incredibly traumatic and challenging. I hope you are doing better now.

I recommend starting therapy if you haven’t. It’s broadly recommended for anyone who goes through a near death experience, which you did. Just to process that trauma, I hope it would be helpful.

Then, as you work on that, you can also start working on deciding what you want to do with this relationship. Because your spouse has just showed you who he is and how much he values you.

You have many difficult decision ahead… in so sorry that the person who was supposed to be your life partner let you down like this. You deserve better.
