For the Sake of Sanity

Note to all new moms. Do not, and I honestly mean DO NOT go see Enders Game. You will cry. Not because it's touching, moving, or encouraging. No because no matter what person may glorify it, as a mother this is what you will see:
A Mom has three children to put through school to become a soldier.
Two of those kids were told they weren't good enough so now suffer from the psychological trauma of forever feeling unworthy and looked down upon by society and their own father.
One is bullied horribly and when he finally fights back he gets promoted and transferred to space where the family very well may never see him again.
Family doesn't get to contact him at all or see him.
When he finally comes back from space he only wants to see his sister and no one else.
Then he goes off to space and is known as a hero because he managed to kill an entire species because he thought he was playing a game.
Because of the empathy he has the mom and family will now never see him again.

What is the point of having another child if you know he will go through a treacherous program, be bullied excessively because it's encouraged, and then disappear for all of eternity without ever talking to you again! I sobbed through the whole thing, I wanted to leave but was with a friend who not only wanted to see it to the end but also paid for me to be there.

Now for those who enjoyed it, awesome, thats fine, nothing against you. But as a first time new mother I cannot, and will not have anything to do with violent movies, or any movie that has to do with a child being hurt, or killed, for the sake of my own sanity.

For now on I'm sticking to movies like, Cinderella, or Parent Trap, or Frozen, or any children's movie that isn't traumatizing. Avoid Hercules or the Hunchback of Notre Dam however those are pretty horrific.
