Coming into an article about how this show uses abusive and potentially fatal tactics and, essentially, siding with them is what makes you a dick.

Don't pretend like you don't deserve this.

Man that fat person who squashed your momma to death did a real number on you. You're better off finding constructive ways to manage your grief. It's not extremely difficult to do some group therapy and punch a pillow.
