was the meet up with parents. The feelings, the room, the father... almost comfort yet maybe even Judge like. The parents seemed grateful yet amost dissapointed, grossed out. The parents were too nieve to even think to say what happened. I mean what was she going to get out of it money, family life etc.. the only thing is comfort of knowing existence.
sharethis was the most interesting scene because it would have to be the toughest for all parties involved. they played it perfectly as they would have to have played it. it certainly would not have been the right place for them to be asking her what happened, or she would have been out the door in the first ten seconds. remember, she experiences what she's been through as shame. the best they can do is to make her feel welcome home, which is exactly what they did.
of course as a dad if i had lost my own daughter, i would have drugged that lemon cake, and while she was sleeping i would have chipped her so i could always know where she is. i certainly would have anticipated her leaving again, and while i wouldn't stop her, i'd want to be able to track her on gps with multiple transceivers implanted in her body. i'm serious as a heartbeat. she's still a minor. no way i'm losing my daughter twice in one lifetime.

yeah, I get you. still though. I'm not trying to win the nice guy award at this point, just find out as much as I can about her, and I know she's not going to tell me. i would use the chips for as long as possible to track her patterns for as long as I could and hopefully she either won't find the chips or know they're thre, or she won't be bothered enough to make the effort to get them all out
shareThey weren't grossed out or naive to say anything about their daughter. They hadn't seen their child since she was 7 years old. They hugged her a lot, stroked her hair and comforted her the best they could, without making her uncomfortable. They were trying to take it slow, and not get too emotional for fear of scaring her. They loved her no matter what she's done. Parents who love their children will truly love them no matter what and forgive them. They would have understood her life and make sense of it. They are grown adults after all. Of course it would have taken time, but she would eventually fit in, because they are her family and they had been searching for her for years and years. Just because they had more kids, they did NOT replace her. The emptiness was still there and never left them. They left her room exactly the same! They put her little face on milk cartons! They tried... and tried...
And anyone who has ever had a terrible life needs to know that anything they have done or been through can be forgiven, even if it's not your fault. This sweet little clean-cut girl had been ripped away from her family and made to do some depraved things. She didn't know anything else. That wasn't her fault. She had to survive. I'm not a shrink but that makes sense. What else could she have known? But anyway, you can start a new life. This is an evil, rotten world and it all goes back to Adam & Eve, when God gave us free will, and man began destroying himself. The world gets worse & worse, but there is also good in this world too! Lots of good and good people. You can change your whole life around. God loves you, and there are Godly people willing to help you. You are God's precious child. Go to a church, shelter, etc... and truly commit to changing your life. It's never too late. All sorts of people have gotten off drugs, lost mass amounts of weight, stopped prostitution, stopped smoking, stopped drinking, you name it. You can be an overcomer! Stay away from bad influences, and know that you don't have to live like that. You will make new friends, and meet people who love you. There is a better life ahead. There truly is. You just have to try! xo
