I married and had children very young and I never finished my education. As a result, Iived for many years as an abused and neglected wife, staying only because I could not provide my children the things I felt they needed. But I'll tell you one thing I was smart enough to do right! I pushed my daughter to do well in school. I taught her that she was a gift and should not be tossed aside for any reason. And best of all, I watched my little girl earn a master's degree. She's married to a great guy and they've been together for 21 yrs now. She stays though because she's still in love. Not because she has to in order to feed her kids! No woman should be dependent upon a man for the basics. Maybe I wasn't such a dummy after all. It may have been late in the game, but I learned! Boy oh boy, did I learn!
Congrats !! On your self respect AND on doing very well w/ your daughter! Please Tell everyone you can your story because you never know who and how many people you can encourage and embolden Even Including the few lines here you wrote!🌝🌝✨🌼🌼👍👌✨stay 💪 strong n safe I, for one am pretty damn proud of you both ( & I don't even know you obviously!)🌝✨🌛
I never in my life put up with that. Worked two jobs and weekends. I have many girlfriends who did too. They also worked and went to school. So... There is never a good enough reason. My grandmother and mother in the 30s and the 60s also worked to provide. My grandmother always had a job. They never divorced, they loved each other. No woman in my family ever let a man provide. And all my sisters are married to the same man for years. Their husbands have MAD respect for them. Because they went into marriage always knowing they better keep a job, and take care of the kids. And they did. Sorry for your situation but based on my own observation, It's bullshit
Terri Garcia I agree with one of the other comments, you should tell your story whenever the opportunity arises. A handful of clueless females will talk crap about you, but those of us who aren't jerks can see what a strong woman you are. It takes a strong woman to put up with the kind of crap you did for all those years and still teach your daughter what a precious gift she is. Staying is not weakness. Sometimes staying is doing what you have to do to survive. It all depends on a million different circumstances & nobody's circumstances are exactly alike. God bless you for having the strength to raise your daughter into a confident woman.
@@MG-cd9ek you have no idea what you would do if you were in the same situation. I'm not stupid and I'm not lazy. And I'm certainly not weak! Who are you to attempt to pass judgement on a situation that you obviously have never experienced? That's not very smart.
@@Dreamskater100 I'm very settled now. The main culture difference was the mentality for me. In Texas we think big, drive big cars, live in big houses and eat big but everything here was/is small.
@Forgotten Palace. Your family was right to leave Texas. The U.S. is going to hell in a handbasket with the politicians we have now running it. How is it over there in England? People are leaving here. Well those who can afford to leave.
You & me both! Literally JUST remembered the name & immediately came here to see it! Super excited to watch it, was just a kid when I seen it before, has always stuck w/me💜
Good morning/day from Norway. Had a beautiful walk earlier today, with the rainbow almost landing on my head. Didn't find any gold but a lovely view nonetheless.😁 Have a wonderful day everyone.🙏💜
Good evening from North Cenral Arizona🖐 After several days of cloudiness with chilly winds, today I walked alone around my yard above the little old Verde River in the brilliant sunshine! Not bad considering on September 15th, I had a double hip joint replacemant surgery, with 18 days of sleeping in a hospital bed, but 14 of those days consisted of three hours a day of physical therapy! After five years of extreme pain as the newly replaced joints were disappearing, I only have a twinge of pain in my upper femur bones..,where the Surgeon wrapped cables around so the bones won't split! Such modern surgical technics! And I only owe a small share after Medicare paid thier part!! I'm so very happy for that you enjoyed the rainbow walk where you are, I hope you enjoy to see many more of those, as for the pot of gold, well, it just may be that it would somehow lessen the joy in those rainbow walks. Have lovely and wonder filled days/nights and life dear one!🙏💕💖💕 !🙂😀
@@dainajenkins992 lol youre welcome!! Santa Clarita Diet is an adorable comedy if you can stand all the explicit gore. Linda plays a zombie opposite Drew Barrymore…it is weird but fun.
So good timeless story it's hard for me to get my head wrapped around somebody that would let their whole family down and be such a coward as their father was thank goodness they had their mother and each other
A lot like my own sperm donor of a so called father... 4 children and off he runs to a woman with only 3 ..... A rather ugly one at that.... Anyway he only left us for 10 years and oops his bucket got kicked at 35.... I was only 14 ... funniest thing was my sister ran away to live with him so he still had 4 children.... she wasn't wanted once he passed ... she looked well stupid crawling back to she was wanted and loved.... Sadly my mother died of cancer 2018 ...that hurt me so badly... Never shed a tear for abscent dad... ironic....
I loved seeing her stand her own ground at the end, and tell her "husband" off like that!!!!!! YAY! I've thought since he first arrived with no luggage, that he'd done abandoned his family and found another woman!
This is why every female needs to learn a trade or have education in order to support themselves before having a family. This happens to many women especially in that time frame.
As an Australian it was really interesting and inspiring to see this movie. Paul Cronin a very well respected Australian actor teams up perfectly with Linda Lavin in this wonderful portrayal of this families adventure. It would have been bloody hard for them. But they did it...❤❤❤
Thank you so much for putting this on CZcams. I saw this when my children were small and they loved it too. I'm now 70 and I still love it and cry when I watch it. Thank you!
Great inspiring movie of family and love growing together and making memories together. Life is truly what we make of it for ourselves and loved ones ❤
Linda Lavin, I can’t thank you enough for this beautiful movie. You’re a courageous and wonderful mother. God bless you and your children. Sending love from Kelowna BC
I married the month following high school graduation. We have 2 sons, 9 grands, and 5 greats! My wonderful husband passed 6 yrs ago. We were married 53 yrs. Got to attend our 50 th class reunion. I’ve moved and downsized and miss him so much. But I believe we will be reunited in eternity. I’ve been blessed and try to stay humble.
I remember watching this at least a million times ...we lived in upstate NY in the 80s ...with NO CABLE so my aunt would record hours of cable tv, on VHS, and mail them to us ....the last time I watched this movie was probably 1991....awesome quality for the year thanks for uploading it.
Linda Lavin is such a wonderful Actress.I have watched a lot of her movies . And loved her in them. She was a great Mother, in this film, so many Children... Such a Husband, abandoning his family. And they all have to DO ALL THE HARD WORK.. IN SETTING UP THE RANCH. Such a horrible EXCUSE OF A MAN. THANK YOU FOR SHARÌNG. ⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗
Linda Lavin, thank you for sharing your TV movie A Place to Call Home. I was thirteen-years old and raising 🐑 on my family’s small farm when the movie was released. I even recorded it on a VHS tape, so I could watch it repeatedly. I have searched for it every few months the last few years, so I was so excited when I learned you shared it on CZcams. The message of the movie is still needed today; no matter your gender, you are strong and capable of forging a life for yourself without depending on others, no matter how scary or overwhelming it may seem at the time. ♥️
The ending is superb! Yes, you can do whatever you want, need, or have a mind to do! It’s up to you! Linda Lavin is perfect for this part, and I’ve watched many of her movies. The message in this one is clear. Faith, Hope, perseverance and love! What her husband , the coward, did was set them free, by deserting them! He did them a great favor, in betraying them! What a low life sucker he was! They triumphed over him!🙏♥️
@@dreamcatcherjulie1 Married people should stuck it out and work through their problems for the sake of their children. Supposedly leaving the bad behind, yet one cannot run away from oneself, and with unfinished business dragged along as baggage, one is bound to complicate additional lives in future.
Beautiful movie..I admire these children and their contribution to their Mom...Can't stand husbands like this, I will always wonder why she agreed with him to move to Australia, instead of just staying in the States.
1:20 Aww the 80's. When siblings could strangle each other in the front seat, and not be strapped down by seat-belts or car seats. That was real freedom! lol
@@cherylemaybury9967 The movie was made in 1987, and I'm old enough to know that the 80's were the same way. No seatbelts were required where I lived anyway, until the 1990's.
In 1984, New York became the first state to require the use of seat belts by law. The law stated that the driver, as well as all front-seat passengers, must wear a seat belt at all times. As for rear-seat passengers, by law only those under age 10 were required to wear seat belts. This type of law, in which the seating position and age of the occupant determined whether or not they were required to comply, was used by other states as they adopted similar laws. Many states adopted seat belt laws similar to those used in New York throughout the late 1980s. Where seat belt use was mandated, statistics showed a decrease in traffic fatalities, which pressured even more states to add seat belt laws. By the end of 1987, several states had a mandatory seat belt law, including California, Florida, Indiana and Pennsylvania. By the end of the 1980s, South Carolina, Virginia, Wyoming and Illinois had laws as well. itstillruns.com/did-seat-belts-become-mandatory-5506603.html
I've only seen Linda Lavin in Alice until now. Never really cared for her character so assumed all her parts would be like that. I was so wrong! Ive watched several of her movies and just love, love, love her. Great actress, tremendous talent.
Fabulous movie with Linda, who is a wonderful actress! Loved each and every character except, of course, the lying coward of a husband! Thanks for posting this movie!
Just watched this a second time😍. The progression of this whole family throughout the movie is BEAUTIFUL! Linda Lavin has always been an actress with integrity. I LOVE all her movies/programs😍!💝💯♾️
I was a kid when I saw this movie back then. I realize now that the father had planned to get rid of his family all along. He clearly wanted no part of it anymore.
I'm only 9 mins in & he reckons that list if things he doesn't like the kids getting affected by won't magically happen in Australia- silly guy & now these comments are saying he doesn't even show up in Australia, what? Why? (what a jerk).
Good movie i agree Gwen I live in Melbourne,its unusual that an American family moved here. I saw the credits at the end the real Sharon died in an a car accident aged 19 very sad
If the husband didn't want to be bothered with the kids and wife, he could have at least said so. Why trick them into traveling all the way to Australia to ditch them. He could have ditched them in the states. WTF?
happened to my cousin Helet her sell the house Pack everything in a U Haul She drove alone to Houston from Calfary When she got there He wasnt home But a Process server was [[divorce papers]] He [husband] Never talked to her What Lowlife behaviour
First of all, thank you for uploading this film. I love true stories. This film is one of the best I have ever seen. She goes through hell trying to get her kids settled. Love the grumpy old station hand. She makes it on her own after their father does eventually come home trying to order the kids to do what he thinks is right. After rescuing their daughter she finally gives him the talking to he deserves. I will not spoil it for anyone else. The ending is very good. I really enjoyed this film. PC. 11. 11. 2020.
That parasite does not deserve to be called a man or a husband or a father. Does nothing and knows nothing, but bosses everyone around. Kudos to the woman and children who succeeded against all odds.
I've never seen any of these movies that linda played in the only thing I've seen her in was Alice and It was my favorite show I still love the reruns .
@@gregrak9389 - greg (sigh) - most people can only comment on what they have experienced in their lives - if that experience is narcissistic misogynistic males then thats what they will make their judgements on in their future - if you have only experienced women with HUGE behinds that is what you will judge all women on - so be it - just remember that - i could judge men on the experiences i have had in my life but i am pretty sure all men are not idiots - lol
Awesome movie. Shame on the husband. But through his abandament, mom and children became stronger in themselves and in their bond. Love the love. 💗🙌💗🙏💗
So Hoibsh comments that they don't like Linda Lavin...hmmm? Doesn't that beg the question, "then why would you be watching a movie in which she stars?"

I think so also
She was married to actor Ron Liebman for years, they seemed such a perfect couple.
So good timeless story it's hard for me to get my head wrapped around somebody that would let their whole family down and be such a coward as their father was thank goodness they had their mother and each other

After rescuing their daughter she finally gives him the talking to he deserves. I will not spoil it for anyone else. The ending is very good. I really enjoyed this film. PC. 11. 11. 2020.
Wonderful Movie! Thank You for posting.
Have you noticed that station wagons seem to be the car of choice in every 80’s movie?
They were the SUV's of their time

1:11:23 - FAVORITE LINE: "Mom's gone nuts!" young son. "In what sense?" older son.
Loved this movie. Thankyou.
One of those true stories - all the more impressive.
What a wonderful testament to the power of a woman!
Anything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, should be seriously questioned.
what an incredible inspirational lady Liz is!
What an amazing movie.
That parasite does not deserve to be called a man or a husband or a father. Does nothing and knows nothing, but bosses everyone around. Kudos to the woman and children who succeeded against all odds.
I loved this movie⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've never seen any of these movies that linda played in the only thing I've seen her in was Alice and It was my favorite show I still love the reruns .
Thank you
My god this husband is like my father. A total narcissist.
lol horrible really
I find that most men are narcissistic, misogynists.
@@geminijohnson4019 And I find that most women have HUGE behinds, so exactly, what is your point? a tad judgmental, aren't we??
@@gregrak9389 - greg (sigh) - most people can only comment on what they have experienced in their lives - if that experience is narcissistic misogynistic males then thats what they will make their judgements on in their future - if you have only experienced women with HUGE behinds that is what you will judge all women on - so be it - just remember that - i could judge men on the experiences i have had in my life but i am pretty sure all men are not idiots - lol
:(
What a hidden gem
Magnificent Linda 😍💙🌟

Awesome movie. Shame on the husband. But through his abandament, mom and children became stronger in themselves and in their bond. Love the love. 💗🙌💗🙏💗
So Hoibsh comments that they don't like Linda Lavin...hmmm? Doesn't that beg the question, "then why would you be watching a movie in which she stars?"
Love Linda Lavin very talented
My father has always had a crush on Linda Lavin while we were growing up.
