I Just Killed My Dad

Well, I see I am here on IMDB with all the other survivors of childhood abuse.

This series captures (in a way I have personally never seen before) the way living with abuse places the child in the upside down world. Kids are told to talk to their parents when someone hurts them, but how does a kid talk to the parent who just beat him or her to bleeding? They don't. They just figure out how to survive until they can get away,

Everyone failed this child until he met a lawyer who himself had been abused,

He can't hurt you anymore, Anthony. Peace and love to you.

I did.

Heartbreaking story of mental abuse and enforced isolation.

I too was abused but at least allowed to go to school. At times I too wanted to kill my father for beating me and my mother, yelling and mentally abusing me as a child at all my inadequacies, so many, many times - too many to count or recount here. My outlet was school and some neighbor friends. I cannot imagine having had that taken away from me and what I would have done. Age 10 I begged my mother to take me away to somewhere else, I could not take it anymore. She never did.

Anthony you could see at the very end was beginning to be himself, cope with freedom and integrate with society all of which he had been denied for his entire life. He was making the effort.

I understand him well, I wish him all the best. He will do well I think. I did, and expect he will too. At the very end his sign of emotion said it all to me.

Why I cried.

Mirror. Mirror.

Another good true documentary story produced by Netflix. First off - it's nice how they shed light on how cumulative manipulation and abuse can have ruin on a persons life. I thought the production had all the pieces for a sad, but educational docuseries. Some of these documentaries are too long and dragged out - but this one tells you the whole story in three episodes.

God bless Anthony and may he make the most of a full life that is ahead of him!

Great documentary! I personally think that Netflix is pretty good at making this kind of true crime documentaries. The great thing is that they not only use the publicly available materials like e.g. Interrogations, but also interview all relevant people: e.g. Police, family, friend, neigbours...

So I certainly hope that we do not need to wait long before we get another one of these documentaries.

A true crime doc that makes you think about crime, consequences, and humanity. The doc was well made and interviewed relevant parties with relative unbias.
