I'm locking my children in the house forever.

All I wanted to do was watch freaking Phantom of the Opera last night. We got the kids off to bed, Tony went to do his homework, and I did some cleaning. I popped some popcorn, made a mug of cocoa, and settled in to watch. In our bedroom, we use our Playstation two as a DVD player, which sucks, trust me. If there is even a freaking SPECK of dust, or a tiny minute scratch, it skips like mad.
Finally, I realized I wasn't going to be able watch the God Damned thing, I turned it off, and perused our movie channels for something good. I was in movie mode, and I wanted to watch SOMETHING. I have this thing though where I will NOT watch a movie (unless I've seen it before) that has been on for more than twenty minutes. I spent so much time wondering if I missed something in that first twenty minutes, and I can't enjoy the movie. This is actually a big problem in my life, feeling like I'm missing out on stuff.
I found a movie called "The Woodsman" and it had three stars. It seemed kind of deep, which was fine, since I needed to balance out The Seed of Chucky that Tony and I had watched the night before, and actually enjoyed.
The Woodsman is about a man who is released from prison after twelve years. He was sent there for molesting girls. He never hurt them physically, he just made them sit on his lap, while he smelled their hair, and he would grind against them to orgasm, while he was clothed. He get an apartment across from a school and we quickly learn he has NOT gotten better, although he really, really wants to.
Near the end he tries to pick up a girl, the first since being released, he can't take it anymore. He finds out though the girl he has befriended is already being molested by her dad, ironically in the very same way (sitting in his lap) and this just flips the switch on him, and you get the sense he "gets it" and he leaves and moves in with his girlfriend.
This movie scared the FUCK out me, even more so than Chucky.
My daughter is very social, and I don't know if I could trust her to NOT talk to strangers. If someone asked her to sit on his lap, I don't know WHAT she would say, but it made me realize that I seriously need to have the "Stranger Danger" talk with her, and soon. I don't want to scare her, but she needs to at least have a healthy fear of strangers.
This world we live in is a messed up one for sure.
