Butterfly Episode 2

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

I'm going in - wish me luck.

Calming mug of golden milk at the ready...

cringe

So I guess she's starving into her authentic self?

good grief

Now both happy and singing in room. Merge to dancing with sister on bus. Happy mum

Grandmum making some good points.

Gran is voice of reason, tells mum she's spoiling him, CORRECT.

Now grandmum disowns max. Sad.music and shouting.

Bloody hell, if my 12 year old daughter took that bloody long to get her clothes on (trousers btw) and her hair brushed (shaved undercut) because of all that prancing about in front of the mirror, she'd get a bollocking.

Now they all turn on poor gran who is in the right.

Forgetting the subject matter, this 'drama' is embarrassingly bad

He's basically gonna get whatever he wants just so he doesn't cut his dick off.

Comparing self harm scars? Surely they have to be called out on this, the context is irrelevant but self harm, repeated suicide attempts is totally irresponsible.

It's awful, from beardy blusher dad, to anna friel's horrendous acting to the fact Alison Steadman had to lower herself to star in this.

Now talking about taking next step

I had to stop watching when the mum took away the toy cars and dinosaurs.... because clearly a girl can’t play with them

Holy fuck! This is horrific

Max has drawn a rainbow on the toe of his converse.

Therapist/doctor: what scares you
Maxv: getting a deep voice / penis

Talking about blocker side. effects Doctor against. Mum: but maxone will harm herself. Doctor - can't just dole out puberty blockers.
Doctor suggest s changing way he can think

Dad's girlfriend - does she (mum) really want you? Don't go along with things if not right for Max

Ah - he's cheating on Max's mum with GF

Max's mum is onto him

Struggling neither filling out forms - not sure what for

Therapist probing parents. Why did dad leave - not answered, came back for Max

Max wanted his dad to like him so he didn't tell him about the girl stuff

Don't like talking about their relationship.

Max wouldn't have put on skirt without Lily s encouragement.

Parents didn't realise how much Lily was behind it.

Max: obvious he had to go to school as girl - doesn't say why

Thanks for doing a running commentary ItsAllGoingToBeFine - my OH is sitting next to me flicking very loudly through an Ikea catalogue and it's distracting me.

Parents worried about self harming that's why they caved.

Max wants him and his parents to be happy.

Oh, and max is wearing lipstick
