Discussion Unknown Number High-school Catfish Spoiler

What the hell did I just watch? And what the hell was this person thinking?

I'm in shock that someone would do such a thing to their own child. And that she doesn't seem to have any focus on what she actually did.

The daughter didn't seem to grasp what her mother did when they told her but the father acted on it right away.

Was she totally jealous of her own daughter?

Yes... like "they don't know my story" I don't need to know why your own ass was lit up when you were younger. I needed to know why you needed to shit on your daughter and why you don't take accountability for it while owning up to telling your daughter to off herself.

What do you expect her to say? “At best, I have a pernicious Cluster B disorder and at worst I am a complete sociopath and a pedophile. I am motivated solely by self-interest, I only feel alive when I’m causing chaos and I’m deeply envious of my own daughter—about which I feel social, if not personal, shame, because I care about status. I’m emotionally stunted at early adolescence and fueled by a dark rage I don’t really understand, and I’m totally disregulated and pathological in my sexual urges. I still have a kind of mammalian bond with my child, but I started to hate her as she grew up and individuated, like most narcissistic mothers, because I don’t see her as a separate person from me who has feelings that matter, but also I want her to love me because it makes me feel less empty and debased. I don’t really understand how normal people function but I live among them and I want their admiration, pity and, especially, attention”? What is it you expect this venal, stunted, bonkers woman to say that will satisfy you?

No I just wanted to know why she went down that route. I didn't want any story from her to be honest. Anything but the why is a waste of space.

This is exactly what I would have loved for her to say.

Exactly. There's zero excuse for what she did.
