As the film progressed and I learned that the boys really left because they wanted to find their sisters help in order to stop their physical and sexual abusing adoptive father from harming their sister Lana again, I felt sad and angry. My anger and sadness resided from two thoughts - the first being that these poor children left one abusive home and entered another and the second being that these same children felt they had to leave their home and hunt for an individual to help save their sister Lana. I began thinking of ways where we could stop situations such as this and became even more angry when I realized that it was nearly impossible. We cannot invade someones life every moment simply because they adopted an abused child and by bringing up a childs history of abuse will only prolong healing for the child. Even as time has passed, I still feel the same sting of anger when I think about how many children leave an abusive home only to end up in another. The urge I have to stop this from happening again, grows and I run through theories of how to make our system better and more accessible for children who feel they may need help. .
Another feeling I felt while watching this film was confusion towards the mother. I felt that in some moments she wanted to protect her children and in others she wanted to protect her divorced husband. She was very flip floppy in whether she knew about her daughters sexual abuse or whether she didnt. She claimed she walked in on Stuart fondling Lana in the tub and then she claimed that she had no idea and that her daughter said nothing about sexul abuse in her teen years. Again, I felt that anger. I couldnt understand how a mother could witness her child (adopted or not) being sexually abused and not say anything to stop the maltreatment. Even when I realized that there had been marital infidelity from her husband, I found no excuse. Yes, I understand that she may have felt unwanted and unloved from the one person who promised to love and want her until death do them part.
