How do you navigate a relationship with one or more parents who are challenging, or even outright toxic? Our relationships with our parents (or parental figures) can have a huge impact on our mental health, not to mention the role they play in influencing many of our other relationships in life.

If you find yourself in a situation where a parent or parent figure is difficult to deal with, it can be tough to know how to handle things… so, that’s what I’m talking about this week in Episode 221 of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast. So, let’s talk! 🙂

When two 12 year-old girls attacked their friend in the woods of Waukesha, Wisconsin in May of 2014, they claimed to have done it to please Slender Man -- a fictional monster created by Eric Knudsen, A.K.A. "Victor Surge," on an internet forum called "Something Awful." That incident put a mainstream, national news spotlight on the figure, which was already being widely circulated and adapted online as a meme.

In this bonus episode of Endless Thread's meme series, we examine Slender Man as monster, meme, and myth.
