Home - The Movie

Hubby and I went to see a movie this weekend. Our first choice was "Goodbye, Solo" but something was wrong with the projector and we ended up seeing "Home." It is an indie movie filmed locally. While it was an interesting story, it hit a little too close to my own home. Sitting there, watching and hearing the parents fighting as the young daughter listens, unseen, I was transported back to my own childhood where parental fighting was the regularly scheduled program. I felt my stomach tighten, my heart rate quicken. I really couldn't wait for the movie to end so I could get out of there, even considered leaving a time or two.

It funny how even after all these years, certain situations can still trigger such unpleasant feelings.

Lord, have mercy.
