Ho ucciso mio padre

I appreciate this documentary's attempt to explain cumulative childhood trauma and shed light on its effects. The testimony of the father's friends are completely consistent with what it would be like to be a scapegoat child. The abusive behavior is hidden from all but the child. Everybody is surprised to learn what is happening, that's the point. It's called coercive power and control and a child has no psychological defenses against it.

Dissociating emotions in order to survive is a hallmark of childhood trauma symptomology, and every level of law enforcement and psychological help that deals with violence and victims, should be versed in what it looks like. It is one of the most misunderstood psychological concepts, including by most psychologists, as it is not taught even at the graduate level other than in the most cursory way.

How to be trauma-informed is going to become ever increasingly important in this complex world of ours. It's time we start understanding when someone's affect is completely flat and they're unable to tell their own stories about their own lives, you're looking at something complex, and it just could be that it's a childhood trauma victim in front of you, and not a stone cold killer. The uninformed attitudes of some of these law enforcement professionals was highly upsetting to watch. Let's become more trauma-informed, shall we?

How can you not feel with him and his family? I love this documentary series. In between you thought, why isn't she fighting for her child? And then you learn more about how she did. And how other people got involved to do the same. I wish you all the best Anthony! Thank you for sharing and thanks to the documentarist for letting us know how cases like this evolve.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we could see how a person can be broken. I hope he can meet the people who will fix him. My mom and dad showed me love at every age of my life. So I can easily show it to others. However, my husband is kind of cold and very bad at expressing his feelings because his family is so, too. After meeting me I turned him into a teddy bear)) I show and tell him how much I love him at any chance I get. He says that I changed him beyond recognition. Not showing your feelings doesn't make you a psychopath. People sometimes don't show feelings because they simply don't know how. He is going to change after he is surrounded by normal, loving people. We are what we see, and we become what we feel eventually.

Well, I see I am here on IMDB with all the other survivors of childhood abuse.

This series captures (in a way I have personally never seen before) the way living with abuse places the child in the upside down world. Kids are told to talk to their parents when someone hurts them, but how does a kid talk to the parent who just beat him or her to bleeding? They don't. They just figure out how to survive until they can get away,

Everyone failed this child until he met a lawyer who himself had been abused,

He can't hurt you anymore, Anthony. Peace and love to you.

Another good true documentary story produced by Netflix. First off - it's nice how they shed light on how cumulative manipulation and abuse can have ruin on a persons life. I thought the production had all the pieces for a sad, but educational docuseries. Some of these documentaries are too long and dragged out - but this one tells you the whole story in three episodes.

God bless Anthony and may he make the most of a full life that is ahead of him!
