I'm not one who cries at movies but this one did. I have to say a little about it because I wanted to ask this question in the thread.
The jest of it was, actress Meryl Streep has cancer and is dying, the husband ask their daughter who has a good job and lives out of town to come and live with them to take care of her, more so because he says he doesn't have the time.
Well the daughter finds out Father is cheating on her Mother. He's very selfish but at the same time treats his wife very good, has been a good Father and provider. She doesn't tell her Mother.
Before she dies tho, she calls her into the bedroom and tells the daughter there is nothing she doesn't know about her Father that she doesn't know herself and has known about the cheating for quite some time.
Heres the the statement in so many words and I won't be able to say it all like Meryl did that's why you need to watch it, if you'd like.
She tells her daughter that when your young with not much baggage behind you it's one thing but when you've been thru so much together and have raised kids, so on and so on, she says quite a bit more. You realize if you break it off you cut so much apart of you out of your life, heart and soul, that you just learn to deal with it. Now I know that sounds strange and I don't necessarily agree with it because normally I would suggest a woman leave but she is giving her explanation to her daughter why she has not and will not leave. I guess part of what I'm saying, her explanation made me to rethink about how I can at least understand how it's just not so cut and dry. I mean I knew that before but now I can sympathize with a woman a little better, how they could decide to stick it out regardless. It's sad and this was very, very sad
.The father knows his daughter found out. After she dies the daughter and the father appear to start on a road to reconciliation,, it happens at the grave site, wow!
My question is what is the opinion of some here who might have been thru this type of situation or something similar? I know what most will say because I've followed threads here and posted on some.
But taking in what I've said about this, does it ring a bell to anyone here? Thot's, opinions. You would have to see this to get the full impact of my thot's I feel, but I tho't I'd try!
My mother-in-law stayed with her husband for over 60 yrs. He was a creep, she could have divorce him over and over again and if you was to say something about it now or about him she would get very upset. He's dead now. She still Loves him, I know you can't just stop loving some one after so many yrs but now I understand a little better how she was able to put up with it, not that I agree with it but..................????
