Telling Amy's Story Documentary Analysis

My reaction to the documentary Telling Amy’s Story was not surprised nor shocked at all. I believed I knew what the result would be I was just waiting on the inevitable. This man showed multiple times that if he couldn’t have her no one could so I’m not sure what made her believe that she would be able to just leave her husband in the end. I don’t want to speak ill of the dead but I feel she should of just ran when she had the chance from the start of the relationship when he started to show signs of being controlling. This is what surprised me the most Amy met Vincent McGee in her place of employment and within a few months he was making her feel uncomfortable at work and rules were placed on her.
I can say I was able to identify with Amy’s
story though. My mother went through this when I was in middle but she decided she would put her child first and left her husband. I understand how hard it can be to leave someone emotional or physically abusive and especially if you believe or they make you believe you will be nothing without them. My mom looked at her child and saw that she didn’t want her child to be a product of abuse. I believe Amy should have looked to her children and saw that she didn’t want them to be abusers when they get older. In the end I do believe Amy was a strong woman to go through this abuse and she provide her children a safe haven with their grandparents.
