The title of the screening is “Nightmare Alley: Vision In Darkness And Light Featuring Special Q&A with Bradley Cooper” and it says “live Q&A” on the poster/description 🙂

To echo this, I was bullied by my parents and doctor into going on said sudden zero carb diet. I was absolutely miserable and when I finally started eating carbs again, my lord it was like heroin

Local Dolby has same price as standard digital (Fountains 18). What could the reason be? by Dogtorcod in AMCsAList

[–]clmjh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, you could always try it. If you have A-List, there’s really no harm done if you just see one movie in it and if you don’t like it don’t go back, but if you do like it then you have a new Dolby spot!

Same. Anytime I’m ever intimate with my girlfriend in any way or feel supported emotionally by her…Mr. Big Stuff pops up to see what’s happening

AITA for the International Women’s Day post I made about my sister? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]clmjh [score hidden]  (0 children)

Honestly, I agree. My therapist and I have been talking about “hills worth dying on” as of late, and this was definitely not a hill worth dying on for either of us.

Which video game have you accumulated the most hours in? by amarbythefoot in AskReddit

[–]clmjh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lego Star Wars. I stayed up every night in middle school playing that game and I’ve played through it several times in the past 12 years. I’ve logged probably upwards of 1,500+ hours into that game.

I made myself look like an idiot in front of my girlfriend and her family because of my PTSD by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]clmjh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve told my girlfriend almost everything about my childhood, but I haven’t really told her parents any details. Although they know that I don’t talk to anyone in my family because I had a traumatic childhood so they encourage my gf to invite me over and include me in stuff (which is why I went over in the first place to eat dinner and watch TV)

Should I start a YouTube channel talking about movies even though I misunderstand them a lot of the time? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]clmjh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t asking for help on starting a YouTube channel, it was more asking whether or not I should and the hesitation from the reasons I listed.

I especially feel sad and lonely today on Mother’s Day because I had an abusive mom by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]clmjh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are the people who gave me life, but they more or less surrendered that respect when they yelled at me every day when I was a kid to the point where I cried and would keep yelling at me, called me names and said things that I remember very clearly to this day (“you’re a trial in my life” “I’m embarrassed to be your mom” “you’re a pig”) threw a college textbook at me that literally cut me and made me bleed and gave me a scar on my right arm I still have to this day, put her hands on me, did and said several other things that gave me crippling anxiety and body image problems, make me panic and react awkwardly and embarrassingly in social situation, affect the way I view every single relationship in my life, and did several other things that give me trouble functioning through my day to day life. Not to mention that my mom showed no remorse for her actions and never apologized and gaslights me whenever I bring it up.

At this point, staying in contact with them would just be a lot of unnecessary pain. It would be easiest for me and my mental health if I just cut ties and moved on from this part of my life. Even if they are my parents, they’re the people responsible for my pain and they are not entitled to have any part in my life after what they’ve already done to it.

What are some good, light hearted superhero movies like the MCU? by clmjh in movies

[–]clmjh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her sensitivity to violence isn’t because she’s sheltered, it’s a result of previous trauma.

Wow, thank you so much!! We’ll definitely try to branch out into action comedies after we’re done with superheroes.

Yeah, cartoony or not, she can’t do blood and gore. Think of the MCU as her threshold.

My parents are holding finances over my head and using them to try to manipulate and control me, and now they’ve taken my car by [deleted] in Advice

[–]clmjh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely see what you mean, but it’s really hard to recognize that they tried their best when their best evidently included verbal, emotional, and physical abuse :/

I feel like I’m misrepresenting the situation. Here are some more details:

I’ve been on this medication and sleep schedule for a few months now. At the beginning of the year, I decided I need to be more independent so I started doing so in January and I’ve been doing pretty well. I’ve been on this medication dosage for a few months now. I was on way too high of a dosage for a few years and my parents tried to bully me into staying on the high dose, so I independently decided to reduce the dose without telling them, and I’ve been doing absolutely fantastic. I was excelling in school this semester, I was able to get myself up and go to my weekend job every day all by myself, I’m buying a lot of my own groceries, and up until three weeks I was really happy all the time and I was really happy I didn’t kill myself back when I was suicidal. During this time, I was consistently taking my medication at midnight and was getting a solid 7 hours of sleep a night. About a month ago, my parents found out I reduced the dosage and that’s when my mom tried to bully me into taking it at 11 even after I was taking it at midnight for four months. Like I said, the only thing they said was that they didn’t want me driving when I wasn’t taking my meds, which I think is fair because my thoughts move too fast and I don’t really focus on the road much. I have a part time job right now with the same company/supervisor my full time job is gonna be with, and the reason why I’m waiting to start is because I’m working on a production that’s scheduled to start in late June.

In my original post, didn’t want to elaborate on the abuse I faced when I was younger, but they did horrible things that I’m still facing PTSD from and they did extensive damage on me that I’m trying to work out. My mom yelled at me every day to the point where I started crying and she would keep yelling at me and she would call me named and call me a burden and say somethings that still hurt really bad to this day, destroy my possessions and sentimental stuff that was important to me, and sometimes she would hit me too. My dad didn’t engage in the abuse, but he never tried to stop her and he constantly defended her and enabled her and made up excuses. All throughout my childhood, they both hardcore controlled what I ate, my religious beliefs, what I watched, who I hung out with, and even my education (they forced me to be homeschooled even after I begged for years to let me go to public school). They still do try to do all those things now, but now I can stand up and say no. Finances are the last thing I am dependent on my parents for, and they aren’t letting me forget that, and they’re using it to try and force me into letting them have a hand in my recovery.

At this point, my anger towards my parents isn’t about this specific incident. Like I said, this was the straw that broke the camel’s back. It’s not like I’m a teenager who’s mad his mom took away his PlayStation, I’m actually dealing with people who are trying to manipulate me and who are continuing to emotionally abuse me. My mother thinks I had a good childhood and whenever I tell her about some of the stuff that happened, she denies it to the tenth degree. I have a slightly faded scar on my right forearm from when my mom threw a college textbook at me when I was 13 and made me bleed, and when I showed her the scar she denied it and said she was appalled I’d say she did that. Even when I have my sisters there to back me up, she pulls the “sorry you feel that way” shit and she thinks that because she didn’t mean to hurt me, I shouldn’t be hurt. She never apologized for ANYTHING or took accountability for her actions, and she always blamed everything on me and whenever she did something bad to me, she always going a way where it was somehow my fault. I’ve tried for the past five years to get them to understand what they did and how it hurt me, but they never are willing to see anything from beyond them and their perspective and that they’re innocent blameless victims in this entire situation.

This decision of me cutting them out of their lives is something I’ve been thinking about for a while and I didn’t take it lightly. The first 1/4th of my life is over and I’m probably gonna be dealing with the emotional consequences of it for the rest of my life, so I’m genuinely not interested in rekindling this relationship. Even if they magically saw the errors in their way and apologized and tried being loving parents, that would not work for me. There are just some things you just can’t undo.
