Pat Giancontieri

Realistic story of a domestic abuse victim. The struggles; emotional, financial, generational repetition and navigating the social services system. No doubt there are many different scenarios and nuances to DV and this is one story. The minimizing and denying of the abuse by abusers, blaming and shaming the victim is a powerful, painful truth that I believe is common to all survivors. The writer knows the subject matter all too well. Impeccable acting by mother and daughter Andie MacDowell and Margaret Qualley. 10 episodes of the difficult truths of living, finding support and overcoming/escaping from the trap of abuse.
