    Thanks for the link to Moms/HSM. I had just posted a response to a mom in family therapy who could not GET her kid’s attachment to the movie. It boggled my mind that something so sweet could be objectionable. You don’t want to know. But this might help, too.

    What part of the TV movie did the Mom find objectionable?
