Good Omens 3 Watch #2: Caregiver burnout
Upon 2nd watch I saw a lot of things differently. I have to say it hit a little better this time. I noticed things I hadn't before. Things I'll have to think about. But the biggest thing I noticed and related to was Michael and Caregiver burnout.
The way I interpreted it was Michael felt like she was having to do everything. Do it all. She was the only one would could do it right. She had to remember everything.
It was driving her mad. She just wanted to end it all. End everything. Just make it all go away.
Oh God do I relate.
And the fact that Aziraphale recognized this, and he responded to her with compassion and understanding.
And then he forgave her for feeling that way. She knew it was wrong. She knew is was bad. But she couldn't help the way she felt.
I am so glad there is no thought police because if there was I would have been in jail a long time ago.
