Poster for Adolescence
"I'm sorry son. I should've done better." When I heard the first few notes of "Through the Eyes of a Child" by AURORA and saw the father stepping into Jamie's bedroom I knew I couldn't stop myself from crying anymore... The grief that the family is feeling, not because their son is dead, but he's gone in a different way. The little boy he once was is dead and it hurts me so much to think about how the parents think they're at fault. The conversation between the mother and the father in their bedroom was so heart-wrenching, seeing the dad explain how he was abused by his own dad and didn't want to repeat that to his own kids, seeing their daughter and trying to understand how she could turn out the way she did and not Jamie, also Jamie "confessing" on call to his dad- I could talk about this forever but I can't put into words how this makes me feel. I watched this with my mother and sometimes we would look at each other and I would understand that that's the way she sees raising me and my brother as well- how sometimes you have no control over what your child does but sometimes you do and you never know until it's too late. how there are signs but you have to first even see them as signs. how she had a worse childhood than me and tried to make things better with me and feels like she keeps failing in my upbringing- This show was incredible 10/10
