I'm watching Thelma and Louise right now. And it's quite significant to me at this moment in time. Abuse, over time, effects a person's mental health very negatively. I am testimony to that happening. I have unraveled emotionally, I have let loose on my husband in absolute and sheer rages on and off via texts, and I am not all there right now. Thelma went off the rails because of her abusive husband. And Louise? She was raped and then shot the man who tried to rape Thelma.
Obviously, I will not turn to a life of crime! But this movie is very suitable right now for my mood and the state of my mental health. I don't think people realize how much abuse unravels a person emotionally and mentally.
