Hillbilly Elegy: History vs. Hollywood

Congratulations Mr. Vice President of the US, JD Vance!

[@darrylholcomb9076]

Watching this movie was reminecent of my dysfunctional youth with my bi- polar mother. We West Virginia hillbillies relocated to Akron, Ohio during WW2. My sister died & it drove my parents crazy. My mother died in a Texas insane asylum, & my father became distant, mean, & died. My maternal grandmother was a saint & I honor her memory. I'm proud JD Vance rose above his upbringing. He'll make a fine VP. I let my dysfunctional youth get the better of me & became as violent & mean as my father. It took years & God's mercy to get that misery out of my system, & retired as a long distance trucker. This life is a "write off" so I've a sure hope in God's poromised new world.

[@MelesaEFary]

I was raised with a bipolar mother who medicated with beer. Most bipolar people, and in our family as well, we really didn't realize my mom was manic depressive as we didn't know anything about that disease in the 1950s and 1960s!! We were from Georgia as well! My mom would be up at 2:00 am waxing the floor in high heels and putting down 4 coats and told me it was so us kids wouldn't walk on it--! I believed that's how all moms acted till junior high Thats when I thought she was just eccentric. This movie really brought back the horrors of my childhood. But it also brought the good things too! My mom had the funny "proverb like" hillbilly sayings!! She also was a "mam-ma and my dad was pap-pa. My older sister would "rescue" me from my mom's crazy abusive behaviors. So since I lived this life I can really say something regarding the quality! So great acting to Glenn Close and Amy Adams!! Great direction from Ron Howard! I looked for Clint , Ron's brother, as he is always in his brother's movies but didn't see him. The actor who portrayed the son really stirred me when he would try so hard not to let others know how crazy his mom was at times and through your life you love that maniac mother with a fierce 💘. The way people think Southerners are ignorant and all the predjudice The courage it takes to try to explain it to someone you want in your life but also terrified on being rejected. We all have trials in our lives but crazy moms in the 1960s was really a tough one!!

[@briantyson7744]

Thank You so much for sharing your story! It is obvious from your writing that you are a well adjusted person who was intelligent enough to overcome the difficulties which others have found to be too immense to triumph over. Good for you!

[@darrylholcomb9076]

Same experience here. My mother who insisted I call her by her name, would wash clothes over & over all night. Often while fixing a meal rant & cuss throwing pans & dishes against the wall. Never a dull moment!

[@uofa82]

I am the bipolar mom, inherited from my dad. I was never physically abusive, never self-medicated with drugs or alcohol, just verbal-shouted and hollered a lot-slammed doors, and suicidal. I am so thankful I finally got properly diagnosed when I was 49 and put on lithium. It saved my life. If you, someone you know or suspect is bipolar, pray for them to accept this truth about themselves and that they get help. Lithium is the gold standard for treatment. It is a beautiful think to be stable. 🙏✝️🕊️😔❤️

[@MelesaEFary]

@uofa82 Thanks but I am an RN and very aware. I also forgive my mother but it was so hard to grow up that way. Having a birthday and kids coming and one mother calls all the other mother's to get their kids away from my mother. So many things...

[@janetprice85]

We moved to Ohio when I was a kid. We lived in several states because of my Dad's business. I met kids like Mr.Vance. Ohio had a lot of families from Appalachia and Mexico in Ohio working in industry. In my area outside of Sandusky it was agriculture/ food processing plants. Decent hardworking people. They were hit hard by bad trade deals that trashed our American industry in mid -America. Many parents did not speak English and those that were from Appalachia often could not read or write. My Mom taught Sunday School. She wrote and read letters for her young marrieds Sunday School class members. When my brother's first grade teacher realized Mom had been an executive secretary and was literate she was so happy and drafted her as a room mother. No disrespect for the other Mom's they just never had the chance at schooling.

[@DWilliam1]

Pushing 60 and the book and movie resonates with me despite not being a hillbilly or from the Midwest. It brings back memories that I try to suppress from my own childhood. Growing up with a bi-polar mother with a Borderline personality disorder and surviving a childhood that included verbal threats from her stating things like “may the god of death be upon you” and “I tried to kill you but you survived the abortion”( I was 8) and running to my room, locking and holding the door closed in such a way that the knife blade wouldn’t jab me as it poked a good 3-4 inches through the door, I know just how difficult it is to go on to try to get through school let alone become a successful and somewhat decent person, but like JD I did. It’s real hard to describe how you do it while others can’t(I lost a sister at 38 who never was able to slay her demons and I ended up raising her 7 yo since her ex was a drug addict and incarcerated) but it takes a good amount of intestinal fortitude and tenacity and a will to survive to do what’s right and rise above your circumstance. I always felt that I also got lucky that I was born just a little smarter than most which put me in classes with the other “smart kids” from good families which opened my eyes to a world outside my chaos and gave me something to aspire to. My sister just wasn’t as lucky. As for me, I’m going to vote the ticket JD is on for the first time figuring if he kinda went through what I did and he was able to get out and become a decent and successful man than that is what this country needs as I believe we have come to the crossroads in our society. Thanks for letting me share.

[@richardvale214]

So sorry to hear that, but please note that JD did not turn out to be “a decent and successful man”, He’s an empty suit. He may have gone through the same childhood traumas as you, but then he went to Yale, became a venture capitalist, became a mediocre US Senator and lastly, became the most unpopular vice presidential candidate in US history. I’m saying “no to Vance. He’s a spineless Trump sycophant puppet.

After his parents divorced and his mother remarried Bob Hamel, his name was changed to James David Hamel. This change kept the initials “J.D.” by swapping his father’s name, Donald, for his uncle’s name, David. 2. James David Hamel to James David Vance: Upon his marriage to Usha Chilukuri, Vance adopted the surname Vance, which was the name of his maternal grandparents, who played a significant role in his upbringing.

To me one of the most telling things about the movie was the scene where the young grandparents were driving into Middletown and seeing US Steel plant thriving versus the next scene where the town was boarded up and the plant shut down. That is the catalyst that ruined industry, towns and families all over this country and what was tapped into by Trump. NAFTA was one of the worst things that happened to our country and it was forced down our throats by Bill Clinton and the country club Republicans. Bill Clinton and the country club Republicans were also instrumental in repeal of Glass-Steagall that almost wiped our economy and ruin many people's lives. Wall Street which backs Biden/HRC/ Obama came out smelling like arose with their "too big to fail" BS bailouts but the average working class men and women not so much. Trump and Vance understand that even though they are from totally different backgrounds. Biden/Harris/any Democrat could care less.

@@volvo573 JD Bowman or Vance depending on who he needs to be that day, is emblematic of what’s wrong with us. He didn’t even marry his own kind, just left our community both physically and spiritually. He named his son an Indian name. This is what happens at places like Yale.

He like millions fells for lies of media until seeing the success of what a real leader looks like! with Trump we had Safe border, low food low gas, real jobs, no new wars, donating his presidential salary to the american people, helping fund black colleges, giving military the biggest pay raise, getting vets the medical care choice they finally deserve, protecting religious freedoms! Thankful Vance who was born into poverty worked hard for american dream served in combat admits the truth that he was wrong and respects president Trump!
