Un amour étouffant

I found this story to be heart breaking. I've seen that many people commented that Stacy was stupid for staying with Bobby, but most people who are in abusive relationships stay because the abuser usually psychologically abuses them, as well as physically. The thing is that some people don't know if someone is being abused unless they come out and tell someone. And it wasn't too uncommon for her not to tell her mother, because at that age teenage girls usually feel a distance from their mother or parents. This is a true story, based on actual events. It is important to remember that, but Sally Jessie as the judge was trying to convey a message, both to her friends and to the viewer, that if you know someone that is going through this, to speak up before it's too late.

For a tv movie this one is excellent. About an abusive relationship. After watching this I developed a strong sense of power in me. I don't think Stacey had that. Although It ended tragiclly I'm glad she realised what Bobby was doing is wrong. All girls should watch this. Hopefully it will be repeated.

I saw this movie ten minutes into it, so I didn't know that what happened actually would. This film was so powerful, it gave me nightmares for a week. Fred's acting was extremely believable. I actually had to realize that it was fiction and he really isn't insane. Candace was ok as Stacy, I wish she'd act more nowadays. She pretty much dropped off the face of the earth...anyway, this is something every girl should watch. It should definitely be repeated.

People seem to get an image that Stacy Collins is stupid for putting up with her abusive boyfriend but if you watch closely you see that he has brainwashed her into thinking that she is wrong and that he loves her no matter what. You might also say that the beginning gives away the end. Well it does but the flashback is used to show the effects that an abusive relationship can do to the people involved in the relationship and the families of the couple. The sad thing is that this is a true story.

I saw the movie on TV, It was a wakeup call for all mankind alike. Controlling someone is WRONG and DEADLY. I have a 14 yr old Daughter who would have a better understanding of things to notice when controlling starts. The thing is, once controlling starts it accelerates like a runaway train. The only way to stop that train is to notice it coming and get off the tracks, let professionals slow down and possibly stop the unavoidable disaster. I think Stacey did a remarkable performance. that is just the way some if not most girls in a situation like that respond. Fred was also remarkable. The escalation was so believable i was in awe. PLEASE PLAY IT AGAIN.
