For those people living in more rural communities, it is always more difficult to get the help and support we need. Thank heaven for the internet!! And thank you for reaching out.
Merryn I felt exactly the same way. I loved the film and message but part of my tears were due to the fact that these frustrations were felt by those driving lexus vehicles. As a father in downstate IL, there are no resources, no support groups, and very few that understand the frustrations. Even one mom in the movie voiced a scenario of hope that the child go first… How sad. Thanks for doing what you do! My sons last words…
