Part of growing up and healing is knowing that sometimes, an animated movie can still wreck you. Just ask any adult woman who watched Inside Out. And now, Netflix’s In Your Dreams is that for the children of divorce.
No matter your age when your parents get a divorce, it can still hurt. I was 14 going on 15 and I’m not over it.

Stevie is a young girl who is aware of what’s going on with her parents and her fear of it all boils down to her thinking her brother Elliot ruined things.
