All of your comments are sick and Ignorant! You ovbiously don't know the effect that childhood sexual abuse, neglect, and torture can have on a person especially a child! The way that Cat (in real life Beth) was treated as an infant and child caused her to develop a severe attatchment disorder, meaning when she was a child she was never able to bond with a parental figure (because hers were to busy beating and raping her) and it caused her to be extremely violent and afraid. Not because she was a "Bad Child" that needed boot camp to "straighten her a** out" she acted this way because she lived in constant fear of being attacked and hurt again. And like in the case of the birds and her dog, she hurt other "helpless" beings because it made her feel like the one on top. Doing the hurting instead of being hurt. She needed intense phycotherapy (as seen in the movie) to be able to work out and be able to handle her emotions and to know that no one is going to treat her like her father did ever again. Sexual abuse at any age is extremely traumatic and it can and in most cases will emotionally (or physically) scar a person. I know from experience! So as a Childhood incest survivor, to read this it kills me to know that in this day in age most people still will not accept that these things are real and they really mess people up! I take away from this movie that this poor girl was treated terribly and finally came upon people who loved her enough to get her the help she needed. I am not on here to start things, just to share my Knowledge and maybe enlighten a few of the people on this board
