So I remember sitting in my moms car on a late night drive over hearing my parents talking about a movie. Weeks prior to this they kept telling me I was aloud to see it, but when I asked them the name of the movie they told me that I couldn’t watch it because of some type of random bullshit.

I remember desperately looking for this movie when I was like 11 years old and only finding this now..

I don’t know exactly why I’m saying this to a bunch of random people on the internet, but to me it’s almost like I’ve randomly stumbled upon a thing that I was looking for like 4-6 years ago

it’s like I was meant to find it

Erica 아름 Kang

@Prime Velasco The person who was fostering his daughter saw how unbreakable the bond was between Sam and his daughter so she supported the decision to let her go. Sam’s lawyer also saw how great a father he was and so she was fully in support of helping Sam.

@Jewberg Fagonstein no one has disputed he’s fictional. It’s like when you read a book and you know someone is the antagonist and label them the villain of the piece. You can still say they seem like a good person or a bad person even if they’re not ‘real’.

@Jamie Ross no one is challenging the fact that it’s a movie, but aside from the entertainment factor, movies are also supposed to touch us. We feel emotionally connected to the stories and characters portrayed, particularly the ones based in reality. While Sam is fictional, there are millions of people similar to him, if not like him in their cognitive function. The whole point of mediums such as art, film, books is to make us feel something. Your brain doesn’t differentiate between real vs not real when it comes to emotions elicited from fictional stories, it’s why people cry when they read or watch movies and a character dies. Those feelings are as real as anything else.

coming from a single father who was 17 at the time...this movie strikes a major chord

Jacob Massey

@xo that is awful 😞 I am honestly so sorry to hear that mate. I hope things work out in the end and all I can say in the mean time is keep your head up and stay strong. Standing up to your parents is never easy especially when they're manipulative but sometimes they just simply don't know what's best for you.

xo

@Jacob Massey me either. Honestly I'm going through it now with my parents let's just say they manipulated me and used my trauma against me to manipulate me in the courts. And it's just hell and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. My parents are like a vindictive ex but it hurts worse because it's your PARENTS doing it to you. I'm just trying to stay strong. Glad you got half custody.

Jacob Massey

@xo thanks man. I honestly wouldn't wish this on any man or woman who is fully capable of loving and caring for their children.

xo

@Jacob Massey I hear you man and know you are telling the truth father's get disrespected a lot. But also it's like women are dragged to hell if they lose custody for any reason the shame they get is on a whole other level. But the bs men go through in the courts can be on a different level too, you're right. Both things are true.

Jacob Massey

@xo I feel like dad's get a lot of unnecessary grief and in some cases have to prove they are worthy of looking after their own children because the courts tend to favour the mum a lot of the time so she could tell all sorts of lies about the dad and the court would believe it. I'm speaking as a single father myself who went through hell to get joint custody of my children.

This scene messes me up cause a disabled pops knows more than my own damn “normal” pops about being a good parent. Constancy, patience, listening, pretending to listen even when you can’t, love, admitting imperfections. All stuff many normal dads don’t do. Even if he doesn’t know how to always handle Lucy, he tries his best over and over again. That’s what matters and why Lucy always loved him back no matter what.

Sleeve1stFitNext

4y↑17

I hate this because no parent knows what it takes to be a parent. No book, no classes can teach you. You learn as you go. There are things that he could not give her but he gave her the most important gift. He gave her love and compassion. He gave her a stable home. Endless friends who are all so different. Being a good parent doesn’t always means being “normal”. Sometimes it’s sharing the love and kindness in your heart with someone. Loving them unconditionally and doing the best by them. Sam always did the best by Lucy, he thought of her first. It’s hard to ask any parent to give up their kid for what people perceive as better. So imagine someone who does not understand why they cannot see that he loves and does what is best for his daughter.

This movie is sad but it’s special to me. I’ve always wanted to kinda be a counselor for autistic people . My best friends sister is special needs so is her mom , they listen to me nobody else, when I’m at her house and her sister needs to do something and her grandparents are trying to get her to do it she won’t listen to them. I talk to her and she listens . This movie brings me into tears but I love it and is very special. Guys please understand special needs people aren’t “stupid , dumb, or idiotic” they’re just different but they bleed the same as us. They see things different and sometimes you need to see they’re point of view or perspective it might seem hard but just take a few minutes out of your life to understand them. I promise if you just listen to them your might seem their point of view.
