I just saw that movie An American Haunting last nite , and I loved it. It was awsome how in the end it was the little girl protecting herself. I enjoy movies with a twist like The Village and The Others.
Ofcourse my nephews were watching it with me and it brought the subject of parental violence towards their children. I was floored at first as to what to say, but I told them thats this kinda thing is very real and does happen. I explained to them the general facts and left out some of the more horrific details. I did stress it was extremely wrong and that it just isnt in family but there are bad people (strangers ) out there that do horrible things to childen too.
They were very open in the discussion and had a very good understanding of the whole dont-talk- too-strangers and that sorta stuff to my great relief.
I do understand the whole psychological theories behind why people do these disgusting things but for some reason I still just ... i dont know.. it just makes me so angry ...grrrrrrrrr. To me there is NO EXCUSE.
Am I wrong to feel this way!? I dont think so!
