I love that Lifetime shows it (they didn't make it) because men being abused by women is real and it does happen, and hopefully men who call for help are treated better than they were in this film.

It's soooo sad but, when I was in high school, I would hit a lot when I was mad or offended. I didn't know any other way to express myself. My guy friends said that I'd probably end up in an abusive marriage--I'd be the one beating my husband all the time.
Thank God I grew out of that, but it's so sad that that happens and people don't take that sort of thing seriously.
