I recently watched a show involving a foster kid. This was the first time, I tried to delve deep into the psychology of a teen who has been in several foster and group homes. They seek stability and love. They don't want to be called insecure or needy only because their childhood was supposedly unstable. A little kindness goes a long way.
What show?
@jesusredeemedme2425
Tell Me Lies on Hulu.
Bree (in GIF) is the character I'm talking about.
@trueconfidant123
ooooh this sounds interesting. I’m going to have to check it out ❤️
@peachThinker662
Caution: It's a highly addictive toxic relationship series revolving around themes like narcissism and manipulation.
@trueconfidant123
binge watching!!! it’s so good!!!!
True, you have changed Peach’s life. Hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425
I’m glued to the TV 😂
Hehe. You should watch what I’m watching… A Man on the Inside. It’s funny and deep <3
Oooooo that’ll be next 😂
You’ll love it! It’s one of those shows I watch when I don’t want to watch something too heavy or intense <3
That sounds perfect!!!
@peachThinker662
