Hoy quiero hablar de esta serie, de cómo influye y refleja parte de mi vida.
I recently had the opportunity to see series recommendations on a Facebook page, Maid was one of which I read that people liked it the most and I saw many people who felt identified and honestly did not know what exactly it was about, but I decided to see it and expect a surprise that in the end made me understand why people feel identified with this series.
And it is that maid is about a woman with a quite disastrous life, who not only takes care of her but also her little daughter and although you may not believe it I am surprised that I am not the only one who understands, who knows how she feels, I am surprised to see the enormous amount of comments on this series that share or have ever shared that situation.
Today I want to talk about this series, how it influences and reflects part of my life.
Just starting the series, it brought back memories of my childhood, a childhood that I could say was normal at times and not at other times, I find it hard to talk about this, but I think we should always let go of those chains of the past.
As the series develops we see an "Alex" who is brave to leave the one who has caused so much damage to her and her daughter, we see a woman who escapes from that darkness and when we think that everything is going to improve worse things come, one after another and the worst thing for many is to see how she ends up at a certain point like most women who are victims of abuse, she returns to her attacker, I can understand why she does this, maybe the dependence on this man was enormous, maybe she believed that he really changed, maybe the fear of which way to go and there are even women who return to this vicious circle out of fear and because they believe that it is the best for their children, when in reality it is not.
As much as this situation hurts, it is something that is lived a lot, my mother was a victim of physical and psychological abuse by my father and this is where thanks to this series, I have thought many things, remembered horrible scenes from my childhood, that make me appreciate who I am now and the family I have now, when I was little I did not understand why my mother endured so much pain, even in one of those episodes she asked me for forgiveness for giving me that life, my heart broke when I heard those words.
Seeing MAID and seeing how those obstacles are overcome and we learn to love ourselves and get away from those that hurt us gives us a great life lesson, how we fight for someone we love and that gives us that desire to live, I remember that I identify a lot with the scene of Alex remembering when she was a kid and hiding, then her mother looked for her and she had blood, you don't know the feeling that this stirred inside me, that feeling, those fights and blows are the worst that a child can see and leaves sequels that perhaps with therapy can be managed, but I do not accept the idea of going to a psychologist to tell those things, I would not feel comfortable explaining in detail, nor would I know what words to use.
If we pay attention to this series we can feel empathy and we can understand some things that we would normally judge, I am sure that if my father were alive he would now be like Alex's father, I am sure that if he had not died 10 years ago maybe I would not be writing this, I am sure that if he were still alive maybe my mother would never have left him just for fear and I am sure that as I write this there are boys, girls, mothers, fathers suffering and going through this same situation.
I feel like Alex, my mother and I are free now, we have fulfilled many dreams together and although she apologized for giving me life, today I thank her because I can use this life to give her the happiness she lost for more than 15 years.
In short, MAID is a drama series to reflect, fight for what you want, get out of what is tied to you, a teaching that sometimes society does not help either, the laws are sometimes not fair and life is not easy, we also see that not only Alex's life is difficult, there are other characters who carry their own cross, their own pain and it is the same in real life, sometimes we only focus on ourselves and think that others have a perfect life, when it's not like that, no one is perfect.
At the end of this series we can finally feel a small respite, after so much pain and bad luck that seemed endless, with a closure that left me quite happy, normally Netflix series end with an unfinished ending but this story gave you everything , beginning, middle and end.
I've heard interesting things about this series, and the last few movies I've seen starring by Margaret Qualley I really liked. Good review.
