Maybe it is just me but it feels like every where I turn right now I am reminded of what I am working on in therapy. I am a big Streisand/Dreyfuss fan and there was an old movie on tonight --"Nuts" -- that they are both in. I thought it was a comedy. It definitely wasn't. No one told me that in the middle of the trial it is revealed that she was sexually abused by her step father. I'm watching this and I feel myself getting more and more nervous -- I KNEW 15 minutes before they told us. It was like watching a train wreck, I couldn't turn it off. And then her mother says, "I didn't know..." and she SCREAMS at her mother, "you didn't WANT to know!!!" There were tears pouring down my face and I thought I would throw up.
I can't call my therapist -- I've seen him way too much this week. But I feel like someone is F***ing with me...I spent today struggling with a memory that might mean MY mom knew.
There should be warnings on movies like this. So I'm asking, what else should I not watch?
(TV can be just a deadly, I saw a Frasier episode where the wife worries about an obsessed client and reads the file, etc. I know it was supposed to be funny. It wasn't.)
