I had no idea of the content of this movie before watching it and it was so sad , I cried .
It concerns the mother – daughter relationship in which the Mom gave in to releasing her daughter to her Dad who remarried and was very secure and supportive of daughter .
The last scene is the daughter’s wedding and it moved me to tears .
I was not allowed to attend a wedding of any of the 3 sons I shared with the partner / husband whose win was vital .
I’m sure as I heard later in another family function , ex MIL was asked if it was ok if I attended an after party . The event was the Christening of granddaughter . I wasn’t allowed to attend her birthday party the day before , buying her Christening dress and a pearl bracelet was allowed . Taking chocolates to the Priest who remarked he preferred wine .
Exactly why I brought chocolates 😎
The then partner of the ex refused to attend if I were allowed .
Her Mom died ,and she had to travel out of town.
The paternal grandfather had his wallet stolen in the parking lot of the cathedral! He was not ever nice to be around , and even less so for his loss of money etc.
The ex MIL sat beside me and he on her right ; and as we sang a song of welcome, I looked her straight in the eyes allowing her to make the gesture . It was a ” draw” but she was aware of my intention as I quickly sat down .
I noted these things 2013 Neither brother nor their family attended the Christening because I was there .
I honked the horn , and maybe called for son to come out and get gifts , which he did.
I did not give up , nor am I giving up now , I’m ending the cycle of such distortion as to test the soul . I am ending being a target by a vicious , retaliatory, distorted ex partner who wishes me dead and would do anything to do me harm .
