My Thoughts on Wont You be my Neighbor - I never watched the show, and came from a broken home.

So a few days ago someone posted the first 10 minutes of the documentary, "Wont You be my Neighbor," and after watching it i decided to get the movie from redbox.Now, my dad just died a few weeks ago, and i come from a single parent household with a mom who plain and simple wasnt present often. She didnt sit us in front of shows like Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood. What i learned quickly in life was that i was alone, and that nobody loved me, and if they did they didnt show it, except when i did something that pleased them.Im 30 now. My dad was an abusive drug addict who destroyed our family. Ive spent many, many, dark days feeling utterly alone and i often despair over the future.What i really wanted to say is that fred rodgers is right. Love or the lack of it is at the heart of everything a person does. I didnt realize how much pain i was in for so many years, until i had my own son and had to try and teach him to be positive when i myself am not.As others have said, the last 10 minutes are tough, in a relieving sort of way. As i have said my dad died just a few weeks ago due to cirrhosis. For years, i wished he would just die, when i was a kid, and i never believed he cared or loved us. But i saw in the last week of his life it was never about us--he too felt unloved. So i hadnt cried about him since his passing, until the last 10 minutes of the documentary. But once that part rolled, i cried and cried.One other thing--when i was a kid, the show would come on sometimes and my friends and i always made fun of it. We didnt get it. who was this guy man? But looking bad i realize i didnt get it because i didnt understand love itself.i just want to encourage anyone whos struggling or who did growing up, to heed his words and remember that what matters in life, you cant see with your eyes. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2wX2wON
