The Family I Had

I try not to give spoilers so others can get an idea by reading the review. Placing spoilers within a review seems pointless to review it as people like myself look at reviews for the content and overall opinion how a film comes across.

In this documentary I did enjoy it to an extent. I feel so much more could have been put into this. A lot of it is basically the same things being talked about. There are soooo many questions, theories, even people, neighbors, friends, family, etc...left out. Law enforcement left out. Many questions regarding this horrible tragedy need to be answered and if NETFLIX would have done it, O believe it would have shown so much more detail AND been an entire 10 episode docuseries. Real shame as the subject matter is well worth digging further into

It centers around a horrific event and the aftermath of it. If you were a parent would you still love your child despite knowing what they are capable of. The documentary brings to question the whole nature versus nurture question. What causes someone to be evil? Are they born that way or is it because of the circumstances they are born into? The documentary leaves a lot unanswered and I wish they would have delved more into the why. So we only got surface level explanations as to why things went left for this young man. I give the mom props to be able to allow us into her live and listen to the scrutiny I'm sure she received .

This is a haunting and thought-provoking documentary that provides insight into an impossible situation a family is placed in after a tragic murder of one underage sibling by another. The documentary, in my opinion, is all the more interesting because it does not fall into the trap of trying to provide concocted closure where there can be none. I highly recommend it. Thank you to the family for sharing such awful and difficult thoughts.

Head to the TV, no blinking recommended. Just when I thought I've heard it all. I mean I've watched numerous docu drama TV's series such as FBI files, Forensic Files etc. in my past and the family dynamics & circumstances under which the horrific act occurred still astounded me.

Great story, but please do further research like I did. Charity relapsed a lot more than she states in the documentary. On top of that she blames all these guys and her mother for her issues, but she goes out an looks for men like that. She minimizes everything, and sets up foundations and plays a role like an actress , so as to hide who she really is. Hopefully I never meet anyone like her in my life, because she's the definition of toxic. Feel bad for the children they never had a chance at a good life.
