My daughter, the dark side.

Mr. Ed said:
My youngest daughter has always been drawn to the dark side of life. As a child her favorite movie was Nightmare before Christmas. Her favorite holiday is Halloween and she's invested tv shows like Supernatural and Grimm. Of all possible places to visit in the world she wants to go to Salem Mass.

When my daughter comes to visit a natural clash between positive and negative energy as her presence is recognized. I love my daughter but its not healthy for us to spend long periods of time with her.

Oh, well, gee, both my biological children LOVE Nightmare before Christmas. In fact, my son has a nightmare before Christmas tattoo. Both love Halloween and both love the tv shows you mentioned. Plus much worst shows. I never thought of this being a “dark side”. As I watch the same stuff.

What bothers me about them is they both became vegetarians. Makes me sick, I raised them right, beef every dang day. Son recently saw the light and switch back to meat eating, Praise God. But daughter, and her husband still vegetarians.

As for them coming to visit for long periods of time, heck yes! Course she brings her 7 poodles 🤦🏻‍♀️, but it’s the price I pay. I wish they would all move back in, We totally enjoy their company. But, I agree, your house, your rules, your choice. The visits disrupt your routines. We oldies like our routines.

Btw, took three months to find and clean up all the dog poop from her little 5 pound dogs. Every time I found a new pile Id call her and send a picture. 😂

Dark beliefs are when you worship the devil not watch a kids movie.

Dark beliefs that resonate into thoughts of depression and death idealization. I assume we are what we eat so to speak, if a person is consumed by death and violence it is likely their passion for these things will manifest in other areas of their life.
 
It is foolish of me to be concerned over a fellow forum member's observation. Well humanly speaking my own insecurity of right and wrong was threatened and I found myself scrambling for explanations when indeed who gives a F#$* what people think.
I am not that important.

I dunno, seems like these conversations get ass-backyards and upside down.

I personally would have nothing to do with anything that evens hints at the dark side.
It is so easy to slip over the edge:
My son age 17, and his friends would go to a rural area and observe a coven of witches celebrate whatever it is that witches celebrate.
You say, 'Just a bunch of young people acting stupid.'
Maybe so, but it would be an event to avoid.

My wife's grand-daughter starts posting about Halloween and all the doings on Facebook pretty early in the year, I think around March. She just loves all that, but she is level headed, a Marine Corp combat veteran and mother of two rambunctious boys. I love Annie to pieces, and would love to post a picture of her in Afghanistan with her combat gear, but I won't without her permission.
 
@Mr. Ed many people are attracted to the macabre. All of us view TV and movies involved with loads of killing, murder, war and worse.

But that doesn't mean these things are her "beliefs". You never said anything about her beliefs! Someone else did!

You are correct when you say "who gives a F#$* what people think." But I believe you are wrong when you say "you're not that important."

So, your daughter's interests make you uncomfortable. You have a right to your feelings and I'm glad you shared.

In the grand scheme of things people consider themselves way more important than they actually. In the big wide world we are of little importance in comparison to the universe and beyond. That's what I was referring to.
 
I sincerely appreciate everyones comments and consideration. I am aware of everyone's good intentions, but to be fair no one knows my daughter as my wife and I do. So as parents we continue to concern ourselves with our children's health and wellbeing.
