My son and I just watched Geralds Game on Netflix and I really enjoyed it!
I am a huge fan of Stephen Kings work and also enjoyed the remake of "It".

The movie "Geralds Game" touched on some psychologically damaging things that I can relate to. So bringing it to this community, without going into specifics, I know some of us have had devastating experiences to make us NOT believe there is a god.

My first suicide attempt was at 4 yrs old. The way I attempted it is rather lame by adult standards but please keep in mind this was the mind of a 4 yr old-

I stool at the top of a hill on a rainy day and threw my head back and placed my arms in a V above my head and as loud as I could I screamed "god dammit" and awaited the lightening bolts to strike me dead. I know it sounds silly but as a 4 yr old it was a serious attempt. i assumed a naughty child saying the ultimate cuss word would surely be struck dead. I said it a few more times before shrugging my shoulders and going home.

The movie Geralds Game gave me a few flashbacks of my own that all the psychology in the world seemed to have missed with me. Sometimes it takes finding out there isn't a god and even our own family can be the biggest monsters in our lives, while at the same time reminding us that we are ultimately responsible for our own happiness.
