i would welcome her into my town!


justice was served only those who have been in an abusive relationship could understand her fear! the women is a heroine! she not only saved her life but the lives of those beautiful girls! if he has not been stopped he would have killed them all. then everyone would say how did this happen. it would have been 5 lives lost instead of one. god bless her!

Yes, but we don't know for sure if that's what really happened, as we only have her word. And I'm not saying she was or wasn't telling the truth. I don't know. Just saying there is definitely ambiguity in this case. I've wondered about it, and of course that's what comes to your mind normally when a woman kills her husband--was he abusive? Maybe he was, but we just don't know for sure. I would think that at least the oldest girl would have known something if that were the case.

And IF there is just something wrong with her, and there was no abuse (again, not saying there was or wasn't), someone could argue with your statement and say that they would have all been dead even still because if she hadn't been caught in time, maybe she would have killed the children and herself. It's at least one theory.

I can't judge one way or the other. Either way, it's a sad situation, especially for the children.

And I'm sorry that you had to go through something like that.

If the way they portrayed him in the movie is correct, he was a horrible, horrible person, and I can see why she would have snapped.
