Dawn, I saw the movie when it first came out. It's a good movie, but like you said, it's not a movie about mlc.
Mlc is a totally different animal that requires God to have his hand on the pulse all of the time. Mlcers tend to destroy everything in their path, including the feelings we have towards them. Once the destruction has been completed not only to their surroundings, but to themselves, that is when the rebuilding begins to take place. Unfortunately, a lot of what goes on w/the mlcer is all on their time...we are the ones that try to put the pieces of the shattered world back together in the beginning. Eventually, we the lbs, begin our own journey and rediscover the person that we once were. We begin to rebuild and become the best that we can be while the mlcer is out there trying all sorts of "let's get happy" stuff. Bottom line, the mlcer may have been ahead of us in disconnecting a long time ago, but we move ahead in the learning department and if the mlcer wakes up and wants to reconcile, they have a whole lot of paddling upstream to catch up w/us. I do believe that God does have a plan for each of us and sometimes his plans include destroying what is weak and/or flawed to rebuilding for a stronger, more mature way of life.
Dawn, continue to work on you and keep your focus on you and your family. God has a lot of work to do on your h and he will continue to do so until he is happy w/the end results.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
