Help potential victims recognize when they're being gaslighted, while educating more fortunate children to grow into adults who can recognize a narcissist demon. I believe it could save millions of children who are forced to believe they're not abused, or think the abuse is their fault... The Narcissist's Prayer: "That didn't happen, And if it did happen, it wasn't that bad, And if was bad, that's not a big deal, And if it is a big deal, that's not my fault, And if it was my fault, I didn't mean it, And if I did mean it, then it's because you deserved it!"

Her man left, so all she had was her daughter so she abused her as well. "So when she tells you about those things I did to her" I always thought they were physical abuse because she was mad no one loved her and was taking it out on her daughter, which I think was still part of it, but specifying who was going to touch her, after talking about the thing she did to precious... I didn’t realize that until recently and it makes the story even sadder knowing she was being abused sexually by her father, and being abused sexually and physically by her mother.

Death Rager If this isn't good acting then I don't know what is. Mariah portrayed a social worker who deals with these types of situations, but a teenager who was impregnated by her father twice? Of course you would cry, abusing that said daughter and not doing anything to stop that abuse from continuing is some sad shit. I'd imagine as a social worker this is that one case you don't want to handle due to all the emotional trauma and abuse done to the victim. Mariah Carey did an amazing job in the film.

Lee Daniels blackballed her in Hollywood because she wouldn't campaign for her Oscar

[@brandonhall7235]

So I Said what happened was, she worked hard on the movie, and since ending production wanted to spend time with her family. The studio wanted her to go on promotional tour at Cannes, I think, and she refused unless they put her and her family somewhere nice or paid her because this was her personal time she would be sacrificing. So, support from Lee and the studio was taken from her and she was blackballed for being difficult. They felt she should have been grateful and sacrificed her family time for their movie at a financial loss because she would have to pay to have her family with her, and she had already been away from them so long.

[@donniehagy970]

I am telling you right now, this is one of the BEST pieces of acting I have ever witnessed in my short 64 years. I was moved to the point that I was bawling because it was so real; so real.

[@super266]

Narcissism is the most sinister form of mental abuse, we need a national campaign to raise awareness. Precious's mother blames instead of taking responsibility because she's a narcissist. Narcissism is pathological, there is no cure for those demons. If I were given the chance to reform our education-system, I would make children recite the Narcissist's Prayer instead of the Pledge of Allegiance. Help potential victims recognize when they're being gaslighted, while educating more fortunate children to grow into adults who can recognize a narcissist demon. I believe it could save millions of children who are forced to believe they're not abused, or think the abuse is their fault... The Narcissist's Prayer: "That didn't happen, And if it did happen, it wasn't that bad, And if was bad, that's not a big deal, And if it is a big deal, that's not my fault, And if it was my fault, I didn't mean it, And if I did mean it, then it's because you deserved it!" No Precious, you're not stupid, you just got dealt the wrong cards, raised by a demon and forced to love it because you didn't know better.

I agree her acting was a master class..well deserved oscar. This part made me so sick to my stomach because most mothers have an instinct to protect their babies.....even in the animal kingdom. Most mothers would have cut that mans hand off before he reached for their baby to abuse them... an example would be mother whales will put their babies on their stomach and push themselves out of he water allowing themselves to be attacked before their baby will suffer. The scene was gut wrenching... it really was. a mothers love should be and is stronger than any love for a man ... in my opinion but sadly that’s not the case sometimes.

I don't think it was about the man. It was about the "love" he provided. "Who was gonna love me?" The book was incredible (while hard to read because of how raw it was) but Monique did something that I didn't think was possible.
