[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 595785, member: 1721"] You are right, Recovering. It is about surviving intact. About making our ways through something so sad without becoming unhealthy. About accepting what is. Not judging it; not condemning our children or ourselves. Not even fighting it, anymore. Very difficult, to do that. OK. Me and my movie analogies. Does anyone remember "Apocalypse Now" (There is a question mark in there somewhere. I can't seem to punctuate correctly, today.) Anyway. Remember the scene where the Sheen boy's father confronts Marlon Brando? And it's so horrifying, because it is what it is? I'm going to have to watch that movie again. Doesn't the Sheen (Martin, right? Martin Sheen?) let the Marlon Brando character live? Because the whole situation is so crazy that he understands the Brando character's motivation/adaptation? B.
