Just watched a gripping and upsetting documentary on HBO On Demand. Every F'ing Day of My Life is about a woman who kills her husband after almost 20 years of abuse. The movie follows her final five days before going to jail for ten years. Her 17-year-old son took part in the murder and is sentenced to seven years in prison.
It all took place in Southern Oregon, where I used to live, and I remember covering the story. I never knew the depth of the situation. Watch it if you get the chance. It is tragic to see a mother punished for trying to protect her children.
