  As someone who deals with both mental health issues, and chronic nerve pain, I do feel for Velma starting down the path of addiction...but not the murders. No excuses for the murders.

  My favorite simonism is the classic "oh no" when something bad happens to someone terrible

  I threw my back out recently. Got a nerve blocker once it got unbearable and I finally felt no pain for the first time in months. The need to not be in pain especially back pain is so real.

  A total hysterectomy will throw the body into menopause. It can be a real rough ride both mentally and physically.  With no counselling, information about what could happen or hormone replacement therapy  it must have been a nightmare.

  You might not have a middle manager telling you when you can go on holiday, but you'll have the school telling you instead 😂

  I have trigeminal nauralgia and CRPS, the pain is constant. You became a different person when you literally dying from pain in every second you are awake.

  She reminds me of Mary Ann Cotton, a 19th century British serial killer, who repeatedly killed husbands, stepchildren, and even her own children for life insurance pay outs.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWHwDli62c8&amp;t=190">3:10</a> shriveled up legs probably means continuous pain (with no medication or good support due to being dirt poor) to the point of wishing for death Simon…

  The reason men at that time didn’t want their wives to work outside the home was partly influenced by the implication that they didn’t make enough money to support their families

  Bruh, they didnt have running water or electricity. Those chores were full time jobs for her, she couldn&apos;t just run a couple of machines. 😭

  Unfortunately, many abused children blame the submissive parent more than the actively abusive parent for not protecting them. &nbsp;Expressing anger at the abusive parent is dangerous.
