I just finished watching episode 3 of 你的孩子不是你的孩子 "On Children" (Literal Translation: Your child is not your child), episode titled: 茉莉的最後一天 (The Last Day of Molly)
Its like a hour and a half each episode, kinda like a mini-movie.
Episode 3 deals with um... suicide
Literally the first act, before the title screen. It kinda triggered something in me.
As someone who kinda kinda thinks about suicide all the time, it's kinda intriguing to see the aftermath of a suicide...
The first act kinda triggered something in me, like... I always just imagined what my suicide would look like... like do I have the guts to just leap off a high place and just leave this fucking world? Like I just see this person (abeit it's fiction) just leaps off their window at their home-apartment... like... omg... that could just be me one day... just jump off some place high... am I even brave enough to do that?
In the story the mother goes to investigate her child's suicide, and involved some fringe science memory reading stuff from a dead body, but I'm pretty sure my mother wouldn't even put in that much effort. I'm just the second child, a "backup" to her. She still got the other one to put all their hopes into. I mean, she already threatened to give all of their assets to my older brother because I'm so "useless" to them. My mom would just pretend I was never born, just like I was never intended to be born.
(Show's on Netflix, never found a torrent for it, normally I binge through all these back to back, but this one is taking an emotional toll on me since I'm also ethnic Chinese, I kinda skipped the 2nd one a bit since that sortof deals with bullying in school and I had to take a break from it... bullying and fighting was a very recent trauma I had)
