The vibe is: “that’s just how mothers were back then,” plus psychological damage that lasts forty years, and Southern matriarchs treating emotional repression like the Olympics. Beneath all the Southern charm is a very stressed daughter trying to fact-check her entire childhood and realising the real secret of the sisterhood is that every conflict could’ve been solved twenty years earlier with one honest conversation and some much-needed therapy. Women be forming lifelong bonds instead of addressing the extremely obvious source of their emotional problems. Respect.
