[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 455332"] "Mine are similar to others. Seeing other moms and daughters doing mom and daughter stuff together. Gives me a little knot in the pit of my stomach." Have you seen the movie The Sweet Hereafter? Captures this perfectly. The father of a chronic, full-bore difficult child daughter happens to be seated on a flight next to one of his daughter's childhood friends, now a successful young attorney. They talk, and the young woman casually asks about the man's daughter, and the man has to admit that his daughter has never gotten better, that she's still in the trough that she was in in her teens. The young woman's suppressed, polite shock--can it still be like that, after all these years?--and the father's embarrassment at having to report it to a woman that he remembers as one of his daughter's childhood friends, now a success. The man's pain and embarrassment and sad resignation (Ian Holm in a great performance) are palpable. A powerful, lacerating scene. And a must-see movie for all parents of difficult children, I think.
