All the comments on abuse…bravo to everyone who stood up to an abuser and to those in abusive relationships don’t give up leaving…you are worthy ♥️
❤❤❤
❤
Well said , and it happens more then people think , because of the FEAR instilled into one's mind , many get trapped, god bless all women w a good man .. ❤
!😊q
It's called brainwashing until you forget the strength and courage that you once had@@DebbieJender
It's important to note that abuse isn't only physical. Abuse is also verbal. Ignoring verbal abuse can lead to physical abuse.
lot more the that..there's emotional, sexual, neglect, financial, abandonment..probably more sadly..as for lots of women they usually can't fight back, and if any do and hurt or death occurs they get locked up a long if they get brave enough cause it's hard to get away from these types,.they are possessive and never leave you alone.
So true. I was in a relationship with verbal abuse happening to me everyday. According to him, I couldn't do anything right. I was afraid every second that i was with him. It finally wears you down to you start thinking that you are useless and more. The fear would start from the time i would get up to the time I'd go to bed. And the abuse stays with you even after you get away. It takes time to even start feeling better about yourself.
@@Marie-jh4qs so sorry you went through that. I am just now realizing that I need to get out of a very bad marriage. My husband has always been an opportunistic bully. Not physically, but certainly financially and emotionally. I am waking up to understand how depressed I have been for years.
@@Ace-ke7fq and religion abuse where they stop u from praying or going to church, financial abuse, when they tell u how to spend ur own money or they keep ur money, psychological abuse, mental abuse, etc
Yes....been there done that.
Great movie! My father was abusive to my mother and my 3 siblings. I swore never to suffer at the hand of an abuser but found myself married to one who bragged about slapping women. He lifted his hand to me when I was pregnant with our son and I smacked him right back leaving him on the floor lights-out. It was then that I decided to leave him. He never touched me in the months to follow but kept on with emotional abuse. The more I did not react the worse it got until one day he came home from work and me and our 6 month old son were gone. Now happily divorced and my son is an upstanding 27 year old young man - nothing like his father (who died when my son turned 10). I will not stand for abuse from any person in any form - least of all against the innocent and defenseless or any animal.
But strange how some of us stay thinking things will get better . It doesn't happen
A heroine. For real.
Sadly if we had a difficult childhood we can end up in abusive relationships . My ex partner drank a lot and the shouting and gaslighting was a regular thing . I wasted many years with a man who couldn't care for me as he wasn't loved as a child
Good For you ! i still do not get why some women are so pathetic and stay and keep getting abused as if they do not have any self respect or self dignity.
@@sumithraarjunan8742 they feel trapped maybe it's financial but abusive men have no respect for anyone just use people
Movies were so well made back then, it gives me chills through the whole movie, especially since its a true story
There almost never true stories! They just say that, to sell the movie....
....
Well maybe not singular stories but they are based on generally true stories. There are many cases of physical domestic abuse so it’s a genetic story.
“See what you make me do..?!????”
Typical question from an abuser.
I know its how insane they are . Why would any man think it's alright to slap a woman . And to blame her is disgusting , it's like pedophiles when they blame their victims ! I get so mad sometimes I can't watch the movie .
when an abusive husband says you won't get nothing, I would rather have nothing than expose my children to the abuse
I didn't get. Anything. But. Freedom. ! Well worth it. I'd. Say. And I had a court appointed. lawyer. Its been. Over. 40. Years. My ex. Died. Several years. Back.he Gave my. . kids. So many lies. And stories. After they grew. Up. !!! He never. Paid. Child support. Nor was it. Ever. Upheld by courts. I'm. Relieved. For the. Sake. Of them. He. Died. In. Another state. !! Only one of his brothers. Told us. That. Had. Believed. He. Was. Abusive. Some. Wear Rose colored. Glasses. !!!
He was also talking about the children. I thought the same until I hear him mention she won’t get the children. If she has no way to support the children the children go to the father. Unless she can prove he is unfit. Which this was the 90’s. Vastly different time.
I can't even watch this properly; I'm reading the comments and I'm so sorry for everyone suffering now and everyone who's childhood was destroyed by a violent parent. ♥️🤗
Great movie...was on the edge of my chair throughout.
I was in a 10 year abusive relationship with my kids father it was pure hell alot of people say why didn't you leave it's not that easy some people get out some don't but by the grace of God I got out
Thanks so much
With the kids I hope.
@@soniavadnjal7553 yes with my kids and all of my kids are grown now I would never leave my children once you are gone the kids become the next victim
It is difficult to get out. It was hard but I finally did also.
Cheryl, you are right. It's not that easy to get out. People that says why didn't you leave, don't know what its like or how it feels. Back when i was young, i said the same; even tho my mom went thru physical abuse. But i ended up being in a verbal abuse relationship and nothing is easy. People shouldn't judge us because until they go thru it theirselves, they will never understand.
Parents are always right. When they say don't marry that man, DON'T MARRY THAT MAN. Parent's instinct is so powerful.
We as people think we can fix that person. She also was probably manipulated into him. My mother said the same thing about my ex. I didn't see it. She just had a gut feeling.
No they are not. Mine knew
Oh yes.
Or don’t marry that woman
Parents are usually where this treatment starts, hence why they don't know how to get out.
Children who witness their mother's abuse are also victims. Make a plan to leave. Get all your documents, passport, driver's license, insurance and medications. You may have to do it on the quiet and when the abuser isn't home. This is vital for you and your children MAKE A PLAN TO LEAVE.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face.
ABSOLUTELY 💯 @JANYD......❤
Girl she weak AF. She shouldn’t have got married in the first place after he was already beating her ass! These ppl be slow and weak and will let someone hurt them and they children so they can live a certain way. Str8 trash!
@@frankhendricks5918Hello👋🏽🤎
Re letter by Jany - 100% right - the best advice
I'm crying and having a panic attack 10 minutes into this. I also got out of an abusive, manipulative marriage when I saw my 3 year old son trying to protect me from his abusive father. The hell of it is, now the kids have to spend time with him without someone there to protect them. And I am still being abused and controlled through the children. The court system does not protect women or children who are victims of abusers.
You can have God protection his name is Jesus Christ. I am sorry to hear how you saffered, i shere your pain with you and i am giving you a hug. Please if you can forgive the man, so you can go free and have no fear. Only Jesus can heal your broken heart and what happened to you. I speak from experience i was broken, but i desided to seek God Jesus Christ with all of my heart. I have repented from my own sins and i have met the Lord Jesus Christ in an open vision he healed my broken heart and set me free from SIN and fear and change me and my life forever. Speak to Jesus Christ today, seek him he is REAL. He can restore what you lost and give you everlasting life, cut generational curses and give you peace in your heart. ❤😢
I was I'm the same situation. The courts do not protect the victims and the judges don't take the children's protection into consideration at all.
It's hard to believe this is happening in a modern world
Bridget, have courage, have faith in yourself. You said you have got out of the miserable situation. Your children will never "emulate" their ignoble (biological) father. They will surely have the resolve to differentiate between righteousness and
immorality. They will protect you from the evildoer. There are many social media platforms that are personalized, so you can always connect with your son first in cyberspace then in real life, as he grows up! Look at the bright side---you have someone to look up to ! God bless You and your son!
Have courage. Your kids are worth it. It's time to stop being a victim instead be an example for women who struggle with this.
she’s still lucky ,her parents are wonderfully supportive
I want to say that I have seen many movies with Cheryl Ladd and I just have to say BRAVO to Ms. Cheryl Ladd. SHE LITERALLY NAILS E-V-E-RY PERFORMANCE I have seen her in and it is to the point that you don't even recognize her at first glance. Thank you Ms. Ladd for your truly *great* performances.❤️
Jameson Parker was great too. He always played great parts in the 80s and 90s.😊
Man, right when he slapped her, my blood pressure went up. No man should ever strike a woman! My father taught me this ever since I was small. Most of these jerks could never stand up to another man.
Alexander: No one should strike anyone. Period.
Except the father. He should have decked the husband.
That's a fact. Everyone of em that ever beat the hell out of me I'd look dead in his eyes and say imagine how good it would feel if you actually had the Ball's to do this to an actual man you coward ass sob! All 3 that have tortured me I have never once known either of them to stand up to another male. Pathetic
That’s why they hurt women! Their a wussy!
We forget a lot of times the vicious wife and mother.
I've never heard of a man hitting his wife once and being sorry and never doing it again.Once they start it never stops
If he or she hits you once they'll do it again,you cannot love the abuse out of them.Anyone that hurts you DOES NOT LOVE YOU,NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THEY SAY THAT THEY DO.
So true and the abuse only gets worse
You put it right.❤
Very true!
It doesn't mean they don't love you, but they are sick and they don't know how to show love. They cannot handle their emotions and they are mentally ill. Many don't know how to show love, they cannot control their emotions. They take their anger out on those they DO love and are closest to them.
Leaving an abuser is harder than people think. I was with one off and on for 11 years. Every time I left him, he always found me. They promise you the world if you would go home to them. Very difficult and scary time in my life. Had to leave the state, said he'd kill me. I absolutely believed him. He's now dead. Karma.
Sounds scary. How did he die?
Lucky for u, he was dead!
Yes that's true. The victim will leave wen it's beyond intolerable
When he growls, "There will never be a divorce," you know not to make him mad.
I was 8 and 1/2 months pregnant beating black and blue face down to chest I covered my stomach with my hands and still ended up in the emergency room with a C-section my ex got nothing for that but like you said karma is gone now. My X died from liver failure.
Pray for the women who are victims of men like this….pray that they get the courage to leave and come to realize they do NOT DESERVE THIS.
Yes...But some woman are bad news too...
Pray for women AND men that are victims. It's not a one way street
Sometimes men are victims too , they just don't say anything 🤷 😔 😕
Believe it or not Judith Fiore, men can also be the victim, so pray for the men, this abuse can be both ways.
Men can also be victims too, but they just don't talk about it to their guy friends and be called a 'Pussy' or 'Pussy Whooped'.
I grew up in an abusive environment which was very typical in the 80's. I have been married 23 years and never laid a finger on my wife. I knew it back then that I can break the vicious cycle and I did.
Proud of you 👏
Good for you sir 👍
You are a good man
Good for you man. I respect you.
Good for you
One day my friend's mother just took baseball bat, waited for her abusive husband and beat the hell out of him. That was the end of the abuse.
I remember a story by a pastor in the 1930s about a very slight woman married to a huge male drunk. Everyone knew he beat her up and no one liked it. Anyway, one day, she tied him up while he lay on the bed drunk and when he woke up, she beat him up with a whip. He never beat her up again and everyone, including the pastor, was glad she did it. People stayed out of people's marriages and families back in the day, but people wanted her to leave him. Divorce was not common. You can divorce now, but there are women who stay with physical and mental abuse. I think if you tied him up and whipped him these days, he would sue you and the police would lock you up - even if he regularly beat you up. I suppose they reckon you could leave if you want to rather than beat him up.
Good job out with the trash!
Good for Her honestly sometimes you have to Send the Right message. Are there consequences sometimes yes, but it's better then the other end.
A superbly done story. Based on a true story makes it so interesting.
Cheryl Ladd is just so beautiful.
This is why in a relationship you should never underestimate who you are with. You should never base a relationship only on how you feel but instead on how that person actions are toward you and everyone around him or her.
@Keesha Ray, I understand your point, but sometimes the abuse don’t start until after you say “I do.” It’s hard and scary.
@@helenahall4893 Physical abuse can start after saying Yes. But red flags happen much before that, the fact is only that the victim doesn't recognise them. And there is often a reason for that.
@@helenahall4893i wish I was nearby to hug you. I am a victim
@@iks9120 That is not always true. I'm not asking you, but only people who have been in this situation personally understand. As a survivor, I heard the stories of so many women in the group I was in. Everything I thought I knew was wrong and I just couldn't believe it. I felt guilty because now I was in the same situation asking myself, how did I end up here.
@@roxannemohalland1055 Thank you. I pray that you are safe now.
It's absolutely mind blowing what one human being can put another human being through.
Terrible people 😑
Don’t I know it….Going through it rn.
Divorce is inevitable!!!!
It's so sickening.
Ever heard of the justice system !!
They treat humans like animals daily.
And still ppl become pearl clutchers
Not surprising. It happens a lot.
Whoever did the casting for this movie deserves a raise. The child acting in movies is usually unwatchable but this movie got it spot on
Not the little girl imo
If you want to see a great child actor, watch "The Fall"
"The child acting in movies is usually unwatchable"😂 Most play better than some adults.
The cast was phenomenal. Whoever played Robert nailed it too. He was legitimately scary….& the facial expressions were spot on.
The best thing to do is out the abuser as hard as you can; tell everyone who will listen and make it as public as possible. Doing that will take the abuser’s leverage away. Trying to cover it up is what the abuser is hoping for.
Cheryl is a great Actress, old school, when even TV movies are better than the new Big production movies of today.
She can play the sweet innocent victim, or the Evil killer witch, and don't forget, she played an Angel.
The front,5%

Yes I agree dose not she and Michelle fifer look so much alike
She only made it by her looks and last name.
Yes she is... sorry I have never heard her name before but this her third movie I am watching. Very good acting indeed.
Agree.Her and Donna mills (she also played a wife abused by her husband..(corbin Bernsen) Dangerous Intentions.Another true movie very well acted by all concerned,
I really appreciate this movie. The best way to fight injustice is to tell what injustice happened to many people. Bark like a dog against injustice. Great story of triumph.
Its still fiction. Reality is stranger than fiction. I know, as a women I've been there. Stayed single after divorce and children are grown up. Don't forget reality is stranger than happy ever after. 😢😕💕
@@myunknownland9272 This story is not fiction. It is based on the real life case of Robert and Linda Edelman. You can read all about it if you google their names.
There are 10 million people abused in domestic abuse cases. A third of all women have experienced it. And, those are just the ones who have reported it.

Nice that she had parents to go back to. Some of us don’t even have that.
How true!!!
Exactly my struggle. Complete isolation and no where to go
😢
You can say that again.
Exactly
Oh Dear God.
This was me for 5 years. This was my life. I'm so glad I got out. There were times I thought he was going to kill me. He slapped me, he hit me, he kicked me, he strangled me, he shoved me against a wall, a refrigerator, he broke my foot, my nose, my ribs, black eyes, bloody lips, I had bruises all over my body all the time. He did the unthinkable to me (his wife) He broke dishes, glasses, punched walls, punched his hand through a windshield & broke his hand. He begged, promised & cried on his knees many times that he would stop the violence, it never stopped.
I don't wish this on anyone. The first time someone shows you who they are, RUN and don't ever look back. It's not your fault no matter what they say to you. Five years of my life I wish I could forget. The pain, anxiety & depression never goes away. I'm alive and I'm free from that monster.

Happy to know you still alive
Always always always have your own money!!! Never be handicapped by finances, maintain control over you… joint bills, houses and children sure…. But always have something that’s all yours…. I’ve seen enough and life taught me that….. grateful for the lessons learned along the way 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Before "Sleeping with the Enemy" ,this and "dangerous INtentions" were both great true movies.Shame we can``t get such well acted films today.Thankyou for sharing.
Word up.😬😬😬😬😬
I'm glad this movie wasn't sugar-coated. The acting was believable. It took great courage for her to go along with the FBI setup to trap her husband for plotting to have her killed.
Thanks for the 'spoiler', i really appreciate it, nearly didn't watch because I thought it would be too sad....per title.
I like how chill her Dad was when Robert came to get her at her parent's house...knocking and ringing at the door for 10 minutes straight.
My dad would have blown his skull apart before he even had a chance to park
My dad would have killed him the first time he laid a hand on me.
And he'd be on death row for first degree murder
So you like a weak dad over q protective one?
@@CS-uc2oh not as weak as this comment
@@jski3829 🤣🤣😆
The husband is representing a true narcissist. Arrogant, angry, abusive, manipulation, cares about his marriage status in front of others, cares about his business more than family, doesn’t have mercy for others, physical abuse, verbal abuse, mental abuse…..etc.
The abuser always finds the empath, and the empath believes him no matter what others tell her until she falls in the trap. And always the empath is a very kind hearted person, she thinks will change or fix him. Honestly no one can change anyone.
My advise to unmarried young girls to think million times before marrying someone and don’t love and give the green light until you are sure he is the one, the good one.
BUT how many Will believe you. My own daughter's with 2 Associate Degrees and 2 Certifications Still let theses Slimy Covet NARCISSIST in to there trust and sadly feed on there B.S. hanging on every Word they LIE about. It's INCREDIBLE how book smart young girls fall for these DEMONIC!!! tricksters my oldest was just buried and her sister LEARNED NOTHING from her tragic experiences.
I remember when I went through thisbexact same horrible experience. Why are successful men so VIOLENT, cold and harsh? Yet so charming to everyone else around them. Such engaging actors, charming even. Others rarely see their dark side.
Never ever depend on a man's pocket always have your own .
Great movie thx for the upload.
❤🇨🇦
Correct 🥰🇨🇦
I agree. May God continue to guide you wife in a right path..
i.agree Whit you never depends on
Your husband money never
Amen to that and NEVER give up career for children. They will not appreciate it anyway. Advice from one who made this mistake
Especially since she claimed he was abusive from the start.
I LOVE the sprinkler scene! LOL! It's hard to see Jameson Parker play an evil person, when he was so good in Simon & Simon. He did a great job!!
I know! I had a very hard time the first few viewings of this movie because he does so well as a nice guy character.
Very good accord I agree with you
I had a huge crush on Jameson Parker when he was on Simon & Simon. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Another movie where Jameson Parker plays a good guy is Violation of Trust, with Katey Sagal. That's a great movie, about following the truth, wherever it may lead.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face.
This happens everywhere. There is no difference if you are educated or rich or poor. Those men don’t have any control over their anger and they are always angry.
you got that right, and it's all about control over their spouse..it took me a couple of years to finally escape my fear.they always find you somehow..
I'm not sure I but the story about having no control over their anger. It's true that some men snap at anything and anyone, but abusers are usually perfectly well able to control themselves in all social situations, reserving their meanness and violence for their home life alone.
I love ❤️ ur comments
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face.
@yelenaangeleski3354 they control themselves doesn't mean they aren't always angry. They simply let all the toxic anger flow on the ones closest to them or rather the ones that gives them the "satisfaction" by cowering in fear.
After being in several abusive relationships...I vowed to die alone and single. I never get bored, I never get lonely...and I and ONLY I decide when, where, who, how and what I do. I have my kids and grandkids...I give my time to rescues...cats....and I'm happier for it all. You do NOT need a spouse or significant other to be happy as long as you are happy with yourself. And I DO NOT tolerate the abuse of anyone or anything. Life is TOO short to waste it on someone who does not appreciate and respect you. Love yourself, trust yourself...and know your self worth. And have faith in God that HE will lead you down the right path. And if you have days where it seems like God is a little short handed and moving too slow...just keep walking your own path.
One has to ask the obvious question how come it took you so long to learn that valuable lesson? Several abusive partners? Is it that you just thought you weren’t worthy or you simply couldn’t learn a lesson. Thankfully it wasn’t too late for you. I know other silly women who have had multiple abusive partners not necessarily physically abusive but controlling And they always defend them. I have a friend well she is with yet another abusive partner and I’ve just walked away. She never learned her lesson never. Yes, Anna I know I sound judgemental but it just makes me wonder how these victims never learn their lesson.
I agree with what you have said. I was in an abusive relationship in the past. Unfortunately, he drank and was a recovering alcoholic. We were not married. Many times he cheated on me and he knew I knew. I stayed with him and tried to help him get thru his issues. We had good and bad times together. It was a love/hate relationship. He passed away almost 4 years ago from cancer. I did take care of him while he was ill. I am not in a relationship now, and am alone. Have dealt with many health issues myself since then. I am coping as best as I can with getting older and taking care of my beloved cat. He is my support animal and I love him so much. Taking one day at a time, thats all you can do and try to keep your spirits up.
Hope the best for you in the future. Take care. 😊😊😊

I know a man who was verbally and emotionally abused by his wife. It nearly destroyed him. He was so used to it that when he met me after she left him to find herself and expected him to wait he could not handle kindness and respect from me. We have now been married 25 years and he still has trauma from her abuse. It does not have to be physical.
And you've been dealing with him AND his trauma for 25 years! Thought you could heal him?!
@Energy
ya something isn't right
Violence and abuse is a human problem, not specific to one sex.
@@sheilasmith7779 It's sin.
@@PotterSpurn1 Of course human violence and abuse is sin. Who says it isn't?
I loved the clothing back then. They fit the body while modestly and gracefully draping our figures, hiding all the flaws. Those were the days!
As one who suffers partial deafness, I really appreciated the sub-titles. Usually, TH-cam videos have auto-generated sub-titles, which are fine to a point, but the ones on this film were the real deal. Please upload more films with real subtitles, it would mean a lot to me. Many thanks. Bob Hutton

My heart breaks for any woman or man that has been abusive relationship. Domestic violence relationships are so hard to get out of and the most dangerous time for a DV victim is when they try to leave. There needs to be more help for DV victims, like shelter, protection and money to escape. 😥💔💔💔
May all victims of abuse find their voice, courage and determination to do all that is required to live a life away from the abuser. Take care ppl. Love and blessings from Australia
Just started watching this movie and was reading the comments.
its heartbreaking that so many people go through this.
I've just come out of a 35 year marriage to a narcissist.
Any abuse weather it be verbal, physical, emotional even financial, controlling is all abuse.
People always say just leave or why does she stay.
There are many many reasons why someone stays.
Fear, panic, no self esteem, lack of finances, dependant on them, battered wives syndrome, trauma bonding simular to Stockholm syndrome.
What ever the reason its usually because over time the abuser has caused you to feel all those things, made you feel your nothing without them, you have been brainwashed into thinking you can't survive without them.
I've only been out of my situation for a month now and it is extremly difficult, maybe it takes time to adapt and find yourself again.
I am trying to start my own new life now completely alone, its far from easy especally without any support.
when someone tells you they are being abused the best thing you can do is tell them and show them that they are not alone because going from an abusive relationship and being completely alone is also difficult.
But if i can do it i hope others find the srength to also do it.
I had a male acquaintance who suffered abuse by his wife. I was told by a psychologist friend when I told him, the longer you are in such a relationship, the harder it is to get out, and that often it can take six times (of leaving, getting out) to finally make the break. That man moved out a couple of times, and each time he went back, but he finally made it. By that time he was in his late 60's and broke, but he seemed more relaxed and at piece.
Its a best movie ever. 😂 I love it when the father turned on the sprinkler on that wicked man
The actor who played the FBI pretending to be a hit man was really convincing. He's a great actor.
He did real good
I think he was on Sons of Anarchy.
I liked him too. 😀😀😃😃 He really made an impression !!
He even had the stereotypical criminal look.
Kim Coates. He's an amazing actor.
Simply the best movie I’ve seen today. And some are still passing through this in their relationship, please give yourself a break in any form of abuse both men and women.
Wish I had even just one of those parents, doing without them since I was eight, sadly..all you folks out there who have parent(s) look after them, and be grateful.
Can't imagine how you feel
Cheer up dear,if you believe in Christ,call on Him,you will find good relationships which will fill in the void.wish you the best.
Yes, keep in touch
My mom was an abuser, because she was abused as a child, refused to help with my divorce,called me fat even as a 58 year old woman
Abusers really get under my skin.. no matter what they are the victim. I do not understand for the life of me why they are on this planet at all!😡😡
Domestic abuse is a deadly cycle that never ends. It begins with insults, shoves/pushes and it ends with your being terrified for your life. Listen to your loved ones & friends who say not to be with a person. They see the truth while you are blinded by rose-colored glasses.
Awesome film! I was also in an abusive relationship and can understand what she went through. Hope that this movie opens people's eyes.
My father did that to my mother & i left home & married a man who verbally insulted & belittled me. Damn chain.
Yes I hope so
Open my eyes wide. Real wide.Amen
Women 2
In all level of life.
The movie released in 1993. The same year the husband was released from prison after being sentenced to 10 years. I wonder how Linda and her children are doing now. 🙏🏾🥺
I too hope she and the children are okay. Ten years doesn't seem near enough for a creep like him.
@@lynnjudd9036 Yes, exactly! Merry Christmas to you from the other side of the world. 😊
In those years domestic violence was a minor issue so 10 yrs would fit the bill i guess...its now lately that women are finding their feet and a few gud men who have decided to stand up and put this vicious crime on the front post why its now looked on as an actual crime
I hope all is well
Me too I am curius to know about it
This movie is so similar to my mom's first marriage..... I heard her talking about it one day and figured out the rest
It was inspiring.. thanks to whoever acted .. it was so hilarious when Linda's daddy opened to taps and flashed water to her husband 😅😅
Lived 19 years in an abusive marriage! Horror of my life!
Have a very good career, it will take care of you, be self-sufficient. Abuse is not to be taken lightly & once it starts, run for the hills.
Kim Coates is hands down the sweetest, kindest, most respectful man I’ve ever met and I have nothing but the utmost respect and love for him 💙
And he aged spectacularly ❤
Really good movie. I'm surprised her husband only got 10 year's. He should have received a life sentence for his crime.
Different times, unfortunately around that time they would get a less sentence compared to today however I wouldn't be surprised if Robert connections/money helped too.
Life in prison was fitting, he is a danger to society, the definition of evil.
My grandmother used to tell me there is nothing to a man who lays the weight of his hand on a woman and vice versa....leave and thank God for unanswered prayers 😊 We are survivors not victims when we realize we are worthy 🙏 ❤
Good film that illustrates well, the Psychopath-Narcissistic Abuse. Now luckily there is more information through psychiatrists, but still not enough information in schools to prevent and to guide children living in dysfunctional abusive environments.
I particularly appreciated seeing Jameson Parker play the bad guy after his performance as the straight laced, rules abiding private detective in Simon & Simon. He's a very versatile actor.
Yes! I loved Simon and Simon 💜
Robert's character was brought to perfection; so good, I became angry a couple of times lol ! The whole crew are incredible!! Love these movies ,from the good ole' 80s 😏👌
This was from the 90s.
Wonderful actors, back then
I saw this back in the day. The actors in this movie were still on TV regularly at this time. I miss these days and these movies 🎥! TV is no longer good!
Leaving an abuser is always the most dangerous time!!!
But the best! Because after that storm, will definitely come sunshine.
True, a lot of abused wives never get beyond that. The man throttles any attempt to get away
Her father is so supportive and I like how he tells her to stand on her feet and fight for her kids greetings to my DAD he also supports me always in everything Longlive to him ❤️✨🙏
I was beat by someone I was stupid enough to get involved with. I left and came back a few weeks later and to this day I could not tell you why. After a few months it came again and this time she was going to kill me. I fought for my life that night and survived. I never went back but it effected my self esteem for years. I learned to love me and now 15 years living by myself has been so wonderful I would never live with another human again.
I'm so sorry that happened to you
OMG,
Sooo Not Fare To You.
Mutual respect is the cornerstone of a good relationship. Couples will have disagreements that result in some anger. Yet, NO ONE has a right to hit a person PERIOD!!!! NO WOMAN IS SOMEONE'S PROPERTY..
No MAN either
@@cccpsovietunionisnothingbu2402 You are right. A female and a male can be the object of physical abuse. I have seen both! Either way it is wrong and a crime.
@@charlescummings1128 yes. But many women won't accept this truth
@@cccpsovietunionisnothingbu2402 Really? US LGBT culture is trash!😂😂😂
It's sad how people see and know of abuse and turn a blind eye 👀
Both she AND the kids should have been granted an emergency restraining order against him from the beginning. That attorney was practically worthless.
It is really really sad that there are people like this in the world.
True I have witnessed this 😢
I was married to an abuser! It was hell! But I got out, and never looked back!!
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face.
Can I just take this opportunity to congratulate all of you who managed to leave. You are all heroes in my eyes, may God continue to grant you the strength to carry on.
And to all of you guys who haven’t left yet… you can, you will, it will seem like it’s too hard, too difficult, too dangerous to leave but you must! You must choose life! You must choose you! Praying for you all 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I left…. And yes it’s difficult and embarrassing but staying is worse….
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face.
NO WOMEN SHOULD PUT UP WITH SUCH BRUTALITY FROM THEIR BOYFRIEND / FIANCE / HUSBAND ETC.... PERIOD.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Word up
Laughed how Robert looked on his face when he was told ' no she is still alive '.. God, may you put in my life people who will warn me over my enemies plans. May they be my guardian angels 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
🙏🙏🙏
thank you for posting seen it six times before and remember the true events this great tv movie was based on . Thank you for letting us enjoy again
Thank you so much Archive for another great movie.....keep them coming please.
Mother's endure so much in marriages. It's so hard to put up with an abuser, and children are the ones to face it.
They shouldn't put up with abusers at all! Women need to take care of themselves and their children instead of putting up with any kind of abuse.
I can never be with a man who treats his ex wife or ex girlfriend like trash because it says a lot about his character. Shame on him and that new woman.
I sure would of got one thing straight with his new girlfriend let her know she is not my kids mother and never will be stay away from me and my kids I don't care how she feels about me she is not there mom😒 this was mine before her let them all know period.
My father was abusive to my mother and I have made sure to leave any relationship that doesn't sit well, right from the get-go. I cannot understand any woman who stays with an abusive husband if she doesn't care about herself, at least give a thought for the children that have to watch her bring abused and what that does to them.
Abusers know how to chose their victims. Learn what they look for. Learn what a narcissist is, read the signs. They spot you looking sad without posture. You become their prey
Thriller and action movies
Great movie. Any form of abuse of human beings or animals must be deemed unacceptable in every instance.
Includes so called abortion? That is killing a child while inside his mothers' womb?
@@redisbad8672 Yes....abortion is abuse...the ultimate abuse..
😕😟🙁☹
Hedgehog, Well, artichokes DO have heats,and filets of fish have soles…I could probably think of a few more! I’m sorry about your family.😂
Hedgehog, would you like a HEAD of lettuce? An EAR of corn? I’m cracking me up!
@@RasMajnouni I was going to say that!!! I couldn’t find my response! I’m thinking…
I’d rather have a poor husband that treat me nice and treat like human than have one that is rich but treat me worse than an animal.
No animal should ever be treated like that either.
All abusive creeps: Under The Jail, off you go!
And I'd rather marry someone unattractive but respects me
@@bluecollarlit exactly. I'm disgusted by this comparison. No animal deserves being abused, yet some people do. And very poor English, to boot
Living in denial is your worst enemy, l did, for 36 years until l ended up in a reharb due to alchoholism. I came out, well empowered in knowledge and my self esteem full blast !
Today l use my experience to help helpless women in my community. This is a good teaching aid .👏👏👏
@@rachelnjeri70 💚💚💚💚
My mother was in an abusive marriage for 16 years, she told me how she had suffered from her own parents neglect and abuse as if to say that she had no choice. I told her that she subjected us three kids to our father and the situation just as she had been subjected but she didn't see it like that, she only saw her own victimhood. Years later I found myself in an abusive relationship for five years, it was morale and verbal and hateful and each time I left he came to get me, making promises. I even went from Paris to Vancouver via London and he found me. One day I snapped into reality, packed up what little I had ( I wasn't allowed to polute HIS home with my 'stuff' despite me paying the rent and food and costs) and I moved in with a friend and never went back.
Good for u.... stay strong as u deserve better❤
@@buddhacook1087 Thank you. I did enter another relationship that I imagined stong friendship wise so we moved to Brazil after four years where he left me six months later at about the same time I had my money taken so I ended up working for peanuts to survive then moved to China to try to make a better go of it but the financial mess happened in 2008 and I moved back to France and have been alone since, taking no more chances! Very happy to be in total control and feeling free ! My dogs give me way more love than any partner did in the past, should have bought one sooner and saved a lot of heartbreak and money ! xo
Good for you I lost my friend in domestic violents
@@TheFiown I have a 5yr old American Staffy named Buddha, he is my Assistance Dog & he goes everywhere with me.... I was also very lucky that I married the right man the 1st time around.
I had a crappy childhood with a Narcissistic mother but I married a good man, very similar in character to my dad.
Stay happy & be safe.🙏
@@annadembowska1160 😓i am very very sorry
I will never ever understand how a human being can behave in such an abhorrent manner towards his family. It is way beyond my ability to process and comprehend. Monsters come in human form. Extremely scary 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Just about to watch this movie. I got out of an abusive marriage 30 years ago. The nightmare continued for 4-5 years, even though I had a restraining order against him. He used to sit in the car drinking out on the street in front of where I was living, at my mum's, who was terrified of what he would do. He used to phone in the middle of the night saying I would never see another sunrise. Once he entered the house and got stuck into punching me and throwing me around. I had him up on assault, and he wanted me to drop the charges. I had to go to court, got into a lift by myself, next minute he got in. Just the two of us. I thought he was going to kill me in that lift. I was telling a coworker a few years ago, and she said ' get over it'. She upset me. She didn't go through it. And you never get over it.
What a selfish terrible co-worker...
The co worker was probably an abuser
How dare your co worker. So rude!!
Yes I agree abuse is not something you just “get over “ it always stays with you no matter what 😢I know from personal experience it’s very traumatic !😢
Yes that’s very rude and selfish of your co worker as well as insensitive and dismissive that’s awful that she said that 😢
To everyone in a abusive relationship get out before it is too late domestic violence really does exist and guess what you would be surprised how many women end up dead if they stay so sad 😢 but true 😢 so I pray 🙏🙏🙏 one day domestic violence ends.watching this movie making me cry 😭.
Unfortunately, domestic violence will never end. We can only hope the women get stronger.
MEN get horribly abused, too
Spoiler Alert: Apart from the beatings and hiring someone to murder is wife, He moved on so fast, though. He never Loved the woman at all.
He didn’t even think about his kids. How devastated they would be to lose their mother. He’s not a man. He’s a complete maniac. He Should have gotten 80years at least and lose all his assets
he only cared about himself. he did not care for anybody else.
Narcissist s never change.
I agree!
So true especially the part where he was saying to the new woman " this is the bitch I was telling you about" that part made me so angry
That kind of man is incapable of loving anyone.
It took 20 years of mental abuse before leaving my ex husband. I thought it was normal arguing that happen with most couples and always said I would stay for the kids until they were grown. It wasn’t until it started to get more physical that I realized it was not good for my children to see on a daily basis. The hardest thing I ever did but now I’m remarried to a wonder man who treats me like a princess. ❤️💔💜 please know this decision was not taken lightly. I dont believe divorce is the answer and tried to explain more below. It was a matter of self preservation and have up everything for my boys in order to save my own life…
You Deserve it.
I mean yeah it is abuse when somebody’s physically touching you yeah it’s time to go but arguing in a relationship is actually normal because I’ve never met a couple I’ve never argue that all Eric couple argues but like me my boyfriend here we have fight we have arguments but he never puts me down and we have five sooner for me down you know who walk away from each other in the winter cold up we talk it out and you know we make apologies of need to be or whatever but you know for the most part and we don’t really fight over big things though it’s always a little things or whatever but is there for his hands I mean I’ve been with him for over 10 years he never puts his hands on me and I’m sorry but most people I know in their relationship again argues because you know when you were somewhere all the time you have disagreements and we’re both stubborn so yeah the same time I can always count on him an appointment because you the way point out because you can’t FaceTime about it normal arguing and unless you know I don’t get that unless you sit there and called your name is Sylvia then that’s abuse if he’s calling you names and all that stuff and putting you down in the argument yeah that’s wrong but again I’ve never seen a couple that never argues that all there’s no such thing to me as a relationship that I don’t have some arguments but yeah there are some relations we don’t argue at all Mimi my boyfriend and argue at first then I’ll be together for a while in fact we just are arguing Merritt for the last couple years that’s when we start arguing but then when I moved in with him where she was five years ago with her arguing and then I moved in with him I don’t know now we don’t argue at all I think we were just stressed out when we didn’t live together when we moved in together was like everything got better and I were able to work out a problem we have and I mean like with the house and stuff and finances of stuff and get things done get our bills done everything
@@tammiepage6489 I agree that arguments in a relationship are normal. But I didn’t explain my situation well. He was mentally abusive and a very mean alcoholic. I believe marriage is forever and fought for mine more than you know. Seven years after my divorce and still grieving the loss of my family unit. Tears fall as I speak of it. To this day he will still say he doesn’t care and that simply not true.
Anyway please understand I fought hard to keep my family together. He fought to keeping drinking every single day we were married for over 20 years and know and dated him since 1984. In the beginning it was a couple beers after work, turned to at least a 12 pack and up to even a case on any given day off. He couldn’t stop, doesn’t want to stop and chose it above his family. Every day!!!! I begged and pleased for even one day but it was impossible for him. He has a sever illness and refuses any treatment. Little by little tearing apart all we had built together. Im not saying Im perfect just broken and sad, very sad. I already lost a son to SIDS and mot sure if thats when things got worse. But it wasn’t healthy to be told the thing he said even if in my heart I knew it wasn’t true. The decision took years ti make and always had my boys best interest at heart. I even gave him our dream house so my boys were not traumatized any more than had to be. Its been hard for all of us. I would not ever recommend divorce, ever. But there has to come a point where a person can only take so much abuse… trust me a still hurt every day!!
Self defense comes first never be with protection.
Great movie! The fact it was from a real-life situation, made it that much more compelling.
As a vicious husband and father Jamieson Parker did a terrific acting job !
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face.
I helped a lot of women get their legal permanent status through a provision in the immigration law that helps domestic violence victims be able to file for themselves. One thing I learned is that you don’t shame them or try to make them feel guilty. It’s really hard to leave an abusive relationship; it can sometimes lead to the death of the abused spouse. My heart goes out to all domestic violence survivors-men and women. Let’s all keep them in our prayers that they remain safe.
Everything you said is true.
Thank you for saying men and women because some people forget men get abuse to there’s cases of that happening to
@@tammiepage6489 That's very true. Unfortunately abuse by women towards men or gay couples abusing their partner is extremely common but under reported because people don't take it seriously. A lot of people also think that abuse equals violence by physicality but we all know how emotional abuse works, even in a very passive way.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND NOW I'M GOING FROM SURVIVOR TO THRIVING , ONE DAY AT A TIME TO A STEP AT A TIME IN THE MOMENT WITH JESUS
