With the first part of this two parts documentary, I was "furious". "Why they let the family of the victim have all the spotlight? Of course they would blame the other and make themselves look fine".
But I kept watching and the nuance came with the second part, which was exactly the opposite of the first, showing the other side of the story.
For some reason they decided to split the story in two parts instead of telling the whole thing in a more traditional style. And I was pleased at how conflicted I ended up in the whole thing.
Is she to blame? Really? Probably. But is it murder? Maybe. That's how conflicted I am. I just... don't know.
Was she the one beating him up, like his father? Or ignoring him (in the boys' mind) like his mother and family? Was she the one causing the pain and reason for him to want to kill himself every other month?
I don't know. I don't know. I'm 50/50 too.
