wow! i can relate to alot of the events and characters in this movie. i was sucked right in, love can do crazy crazy things...even when that person is wrong for you. this is a must see. its like nicholas sparks and 50 shades of grey combined but even better...i didnt expect it. and i am buying this to add to my collection. i felt a bit of butterflies and emotions overrun me while watching this..hopefully some people will learn a thing or two from this..but getting back at each other the way they did...not exactly my go to.. and the way he tries to forgive and move on from what he did... its f-d up but i understand we all grow up differently and especially with traumatic events like in this movie... i have re-occuring nightmares as well but for a different reason. i like the fact his mother states that she chose to forgive his father so she could move on... that hit me deep. you can either dwell and suffer or you can make the choice to live and let go in a way to live your life. i still struggle everyday. this a great love story however..i hope there are more movies like this one. a favorite i will always have.
