"Murdered by my boyfriend" is on BBC3 right now

Essential, if chilling, viewing if you haven't seen it.

I've just watched it, I don't know that I'll sleep much tonight. The woman the story is about (Casey Brittle) lived about 15 minutes from me, I'd heard the story before I watched, it doesn't show you that her daughter lay with her unconscious mother for two hours before help arrived. Knowing that has absolutely broken me.

Completely agree that it should be compulsory viewing in schools.

I think that was the bit that really put paid to me sleeping. That the little lass who had called for her mum, lay by the foot of her bed and slept near her. Just typing that makes me cry. It's beyond description. It's the opposite of humanity, what happened to her and her mum.

I saw this last time it was broadcast and wish it would become compulsory viewing in secondary schools.

I feel guilty writing this as that poor woman, her daughter and family were the victims, but it deeply affected me and is a programme I still think about from time to time. The ending was so brutal and inhumane I was sobbing, then mortified to realise it was a true story.

I was struck by fireiron and her husband. I have experienced similar in that I used to be all "Oh people can change if given the chance" to now realising some people are just evil hellhounds. Wish I could spot them from hundred yards away.
The abuse meted out by these people is truly the opposite of human. They claim to love, to want to help you improve, to change etc, and in the end if it doesnt turn out to their liking they feel justified in taking your life/try to take your life.
They feel upset, because you/their childhood/boss at work/the children arguing have driven them to it.
How? How does that compute?

Thank you, I will try and watch it.

MiceSpy, you are always posting that sort of thing. Get a life, eh?
