Camille already knows the truth of Adora, how Marian died, what the medicine Adora is about to give her actually does. But still she feels happy about being cared by her mother and being invited into her mother's room, to her bed for the first time. Happy because finally she gives up fighting with her mother for the first time. Gillian Flynn is a goddam genius to depict a relationship so close and fucked up at the same time.

The way she flicks water at Camille, puts her finger in Camille's mouth, and pulls the back of her hair are all subtle signs of sadism.

This is pure ASMR

The whole family is crazy. What a tragic

Adora gets ‘supply’ from hurting Camille ... sadistic moms much more prevalent than humans recognise... as the family golden child representing the family as normal... Adora has insatiable sadistic personality disorder And desires to destroy her scapegoat daughter Camille... discussion about this difficult topic. There is a lot of research done on scapegoating mechanisms but there is little one can do to prevent it from happening. I do believe making victims aware that there is nothing wrong with them as helpful. Unfortunately scapegoating is often a way for families or communities to hide problems that they feel cannot face. In adulthood, scapegoating became a way for adult children to hide the fact of family history of abuse by blaming everything on one member who seemed vulnerable for attack (and/or talks about it). Often the scapegoat is targeted by the siblings who were treated more favorably. In that way, the less favored sibling(s) becomes the punchingbag for everything that is wrong in the family. Family therapy can help but only rarely are the culprits and less affected family members willing to take part. So really hope next tv series focus on empowering the scapegoat(s).

do you think camille thought it would make her feel better at first, like pain killers, and didn't realize it would make her so sick?

Just wtf is going on here???
