What an idiot


She goes off with some strange man top live in his house. Then goes and have sex with him. Looks like she was going to be warned, but the storekeeper (what a slime) stop it. She wad 19, not ten to believe his threats. When i was her age I had a husband and a kid. Are 19 year olds that naive? Tell the doctor, tell the postmaster, tell someone,. You're not his kid or a minor. I can see taking his threats seriously when on the farm, but when in town?

I wouldn't say she was an idiot, more so a young woman who become so mentally and physically damaged that she couldn't think clearly. His threats are very believable. Someone who beats and rapes you daily and clearly psycho is probably capable attempting to murder those around you without a single thought. I don't expect someone who isn't in a healthy state of mind to make logical decisions.

She mentions the "Stockholm Syndrome". Ever heard of it? Patti Hearst? Look it up.

You clearly don't interested subtle psychological manipulation. A young girl who doesn't have much life experience can very easily be manipulated this way. She talked about him grooming her for months. This guy knew exactly how to put someone in a psychological prison.

This is so insensitive. There is absolutely no way you could ever possibly understand the psychological torture and abuse she went through every day. He had her under complete control mentally and physically.

Couldn't agree more, she was really stupid.
ANYONE in an abusive scenario, needs to grow up, put their panties on and smack someone in the head with a rock. If you knock them out, you can restrain them, if you kill them, well, in this case, it was remote enough to hide the body EASILY.

Also, his ex that had custody of the other kid, why didn't she say anything about the way this man was treating people?

You need courage to do those things - psychological abuse rips away your ability to do anything confrontational.

People are very quick to pass judgment here 🤨

This was such a disturbing movie, especially with no info on the sons, no info on the ex wife.. I hardly understood the victim either, her accent was so thick, I had to rewind alot. This guy had his whole life living scott free. The victim waited 23 years to press charges..He died soon after. He never suffered. Shame.

I agree she should've run

You're the idiot.
Pick up a psychology book and educate yourself.
Its so easy to say what someone 'should' do in a situation like this but until you're actually in that position yourself you have no idea what you'd do to survive. The survival part of the brain takes over and you do things you'd never think you'd do.
Ignorant.
