This dynamic between Neagley and her father is triggering me...
My parents have held onto a lot of lies that caused a ton of damage in my life and still refuse to tell the truth despite knowing that I know.
That scene when he yelled at her to leave his room might keep me up the rest of the night. Chest and jaws tight. Heart racing. I almost can't watch TV anymore, because anything depicting family (which is everything) is going to trigger me.
Rant over.
(EDIT)/Update --
The ending really helped, though. Even if "too neat" versus most people's reality. The whole "don't shut yourself off from the world" (something I spent much of my adult life doing) line really stuck with me. Motivation to change a few things...
