Hey everyone! I cannot thank you all enough for the love and support this little short film I made well over a year ago has received. In honor of over 200,000 views, I’ll be making a Q+A video soon about this short film along with other projects on my channel! Please leave any questions you have as a reply to this for a potential shoutout and answer in the Q+A!! :D
Maybe She tried to talk with Her but all the time this piece of shit was there and main character scared. How ever, even if She try to call the police or someday if main girl doesnt want to say anything what really happens they can not help.
Anna Gallagher 1st. For myself to give an honest reply I must know your reply on my comment other than that, this is my stand on domestic violence. My ex learning about this new laws back in 2000 pre-meditated these consequences by planning into effect all these mandated laws. From the beginning my neighbor a judge that lived next door, who let his children live there who's ex husband was not to be living there who started all the trouble including dealing drugs & fucking his own daughter? Sexually assualted /trying to blame myself for doing so! I spent 4 months in prison for awaiting trial while my $400,000.00 home went into forclosure but did the counselor of domestic violence care maybe the fucking prosecutor or judge, no not 1 so FUCKUM all including you
MilkeyTheMage • This is abusive, full stop. There may not be a physical component but it's abuse all the same. Please go through your school again and get yourself away from that.
i could see why see wanted her friend to stay so badly Her so called friend is stupid she shoulda knew what was going down in that house from the very beginning
If I’d watched this before understanding love I wouldn’t understand why the girlfriend didn’t just leave. Now I can see why she doesn’t and it breaks my heart that she feels like she needs to stay
How for the love of God I am so tired of hearing you people ask that. It's not as simple as just packing your bags and leaving. A woman is at much higher risk for death after she leaves her abuser because you can bet your bottom dollar that he's looking for her. A lot of times and abuser will restrict access to money, a car and a phone. They will also keep their victim from getting or keeping a job so that they don't have the means to leave. Educate yourself before you try to act like you know what you're talking about.
Baby hand Grenade she can go to police to help her and he will be in the prison then she leaves far away from him ...he can’t find her to hurt her when she do that....
Usually, before a man becomes physically abusive, he's emotionally or psychologically abusive. He belittles the woman. Makes her feel worthless. Makes her feel like she's nothing. Tells her she's ugly. Tells her she's stupid. Tells her she had nothing to offer anybody, that nobody will ever love her but him, and she starts to see herself the way that he says she is. He breaks her spirit. And once that's broken, breaking her body is nothing. You don't leave because you believe him. He's made sure of that. You're nothing, you're no one, you have nothing to offer. No one else will want you, no one else will love you, you NEED him because he says he does. And he's not always abusive. He peppers the bad behavior with enough sparse kindness that he twists you. And you start to think that it's your fault he's changed. Your fault he's hitting you. That if you'd stop screwing up, stop making him mad, he'd be kind again. THAT'S why we stay. We think we have to. We think we don't have a choice.
Leaving isn't easy at all. When you do build up the courage to leave you are afraid of them finding you and if you have children involved its that much harder
@@babyhandgrenade4004 I hear what you’re saying. It’s not easy to leave but I’ve worked for a Domestic Violence charity and there are ways to leave with a safety plan and support. It’s not worth losing your life by staying when there’s a chance of not losing your life by leaving.
Everyone talking about the friend but some of y'all have probably never been put in this situation the friend could have tried before she even got pregnant but u can't really help someone that doesn't won't help unfortunately this is a every day thing and it's sad because the woman believes that this is love it took me years 2 figure out this wasn't love I was physically abused mentally abused emotionally abused and verbally abused with my last relationship I figured out what attracted me 2 all of them so that I wouldn't find the same demon in a different person and now I'm finally happy and finally where I belong
That was a bit odd. The friend didnt care. Her stomach was down to nothing already and I assume they meant it to be like she had a miscarriage. At that late term and with her having fresh bruises and cuts on her face, if that had been the result of the first part of the story she would have still looked very much pregnant. When you loose a child late term and were previously showing it doesnt just disappear. Even when you give birth you do not just go right back to normal within a day or three which is the longest those bruises and cuts would still look that way. I dont know it just took my attention off the short as it just seemed very unresearched which was odd as the production seemed to be fairly good. It didnt really make me care about the girl either.
It's not about the friend not caring, it's about the friend knowing that no matter what she said or did it wouldn't help until the woman being abused was ready to make the move. Making that move can be quite terrifying when an abuser threatens to kill you if you leave: this can and does happen. A good friend will stand by you and be there for you, understand your predicament while not making things worse while you stay in that situation. Having survived a short reign of severe domestic terror myself (I realized what I was facing, silently planned and fled) I can assure you this is a horribly complex issue.
She'd have had to be taken to the hospital, and in that case, surgical intervention, possibly an emergency hysterectomy, + the tight bandaging that follows, would have made a noticeable difference. We didn't see her standing.
we need to stop the abuse pls we need to stop the abuse and all the violence in the world pls God stop the violence God pls we need to stop it now now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now pls God stop the Damm violence
People are saying the friend is not a very good one but sometimes when your friend is so in love and is being abused nothing that you say get acknowledged by them so in this case I wouldn’t really blame the friend. She’s trying her best to be there for her.
Ive went through this. 16 yrs. Ago. Im an American. My ex hit me alot. Was jealous. When we moved in together i thought it would get better. It didnt. I walked on eggshells all tje time. One day after 4 urs of neing together and almost a year living together. I wemt back home. I found out i was pregnant. Then i was jappy i got out when i did. But to this day i still think about it out of blue and have nightmares. I was diagnosed with PTSD.
I use to get beat by my ex now I've been free for 2 years already he tried looking for me but Im long gone. I am married now and he treats me well. But i still have nightmares of him beating me💔
I can't finish this. Why do females always not ask questions? Her friend left her acting like everything would be ok. I cried to a few people and they never brought it up again. As a matter of fact they distanced themselves from me. So I'm alone with him. I want it over. All of it.
That's a shame , her friend need to be helpful imagine if her husband would hurt her how would she feel , she wants to gossip but she doesn't want to help the lady who is pregnant If I see the friend who won't help the pregnant lady I would call the police and I am so upset at the husband , how is he gonna get upset at his wife and he knew she was pregnant , this story made me cry 😰😰😓😓
All of you blaming the friend are idiots. I’ve been the friend and the abused. CALLING THE POLICE WHEN THEY ARE NOT READY TO LEAVE, MAY GET THEM MURDERED. If you see the person being beaten or hear it….call. But if a friend comes to talk to you about it, and you call and they stay…..the second the police leave….she will be beaten. As a friend all you can do is document any bruises, anything derogatory you witness. Take pictures. Let them know if/when they leave you will be there for them.
everyone calling the friend stupud is not really looking into the film. she could have an idea of her friend being abused but she isn’t sure so she wouldn’t be able to make a report. the man hits her when she isn’t around plus the lady is in love with this guy and she might just want her friend to be happy. i should know as i have been in this situation before and i was that friend.
I'm sorry ur going through this. I'm happy that you're reaching out for help and support. it's gonna be alright. Abuse is not love at all and many woman are unable to see that because they are blinded by their own love for the abuser. what you love, you do not abuse. what you love you treasure and pamper.
I don't care what kind of man you are good or bad a man doesnt hit a woman or lays a finger on her if your in a domestic abusive relationship get help or don't be in that relationship the more you put yourself in that situation or position the more worse it gets this man isn't a man he's a bully to this girl it makes me so angry and upset to watch this 😟😡
People are hating on the friend I mean I get why but in some situations people don’t know how to act or handle them so they freak out and try and get away from it like every time she gets new marks her reaction made it look like she was ganna cry or her sick or maybe even a little scared so she ran and being in that situation is scary

why would you call it a 'dumb ' excuse , someone is being abused and you're more bothered by what they say to cover it up then the fact they are being abused and feel the need to cover it up
ImsoAk I’m a trampolinist and I can tell you a fall - big or small - can give you bruises and scratches. Even so she was talking about how she lost the baby.
I'm sorry but you can't just call the cops even if the bruises are present if the victim is to scared to make a report then the cops will do absolutely nothing you can even make things worse for the victim and the pos hitting her can go into rage it's sucks but unfortunately that's the world we live in the only thing you can do is let them know they are not alone and you are there for them in every way
This is sad..Just looking at this just makes me feel that us as women aline have to go through so much💔..we as females are care givers, we are a big part in how this world is still around because without us there would be no reproductions💯 and then we have to put up with the world..My prayers just go out to ANYONE that has to go through this
I am literally going through the same thing and I have no friends that would help me. Most of them that offered help seem to ignore me or think this is a joke ! I'm glad I know about shelters and I'm pregnant as well. It's really scary and it's more scary to be pregnant and ACTUALLY knowing you want to have your baby. I'm waiting for him to go to work so I can call the shelter and leave
The sad thing is I was in a situation like this, I was the child and this used to be my house and this doe happen, I have ptsd because of it, if you know someone who’s going through something like this PLAESE help them
Abusive men are often triggered by a wife's pregnancy. They may feel her whole attention isn't on them, or fear that her primary loyalty will be to the child. Beating her into a miscarriage, or attempting to do so, is not at all uncommon. Murder is not unheard of. Scott and Laci Peterson, q.v.
The friend in this scenario is not to blame; the abuser is. DV is a complex issue. Friends who ‘tell’ friends who are being victimized are often cut out of that person’s life. Always and only hold the batterer accountable.
If she was my friend I would have taken her out of there. That is so very sad to me her friend was not a real friend to me. Men don't know but they have to answer to God for each and everything they do to a woman.
You've done an excellent job portraying a very tough but Very Real problem in this world! Some will get it right away and others will get it later on because they've never seen Domestic Abuse/Violence. They don't know how to recognize it unless it is very overt and in your face obvious. I've seen on here some comment about the friend who should have done something or at least stayed to help her friend. Unless you've been in a situation like this you may not understand was that the friend Was helping. She didn't want to stay and wind up in a fight with his herself which he would have blamed on his girlfriend and possibly made her situation worse. She keeps visiting her friend and waiting until her friend is ready to face it and wants to get out. Another thing to understand is that he didn't want the baby at all. He had been waiting for an "excuse", for her to give him a "reason" to get physical with her so that in his mind he wasn't to blame for the "accident" in which she would lose the baby. That's what these disgusting creatures do but they never own up to who they are. Thank You again Daniel and to all of those who assisted you in this project!

My tia went through this with a stupid childish guy she stopped visiting our family cut off contact with us. She left him and is now with a man who is so protective and sweet I’m happy for her now
Why are there so many comments about the friend not helping?? How about the person who is abusing his pregnant wife/girlfriend? The sole person responsible for their own actions. Yes, it would be nice if the friend helped, but letting her friend know she is there for her might be the best help you can give. Even if she "helps" her friend more, such as taking her to live with her doesn't mean she won't get back. Leaving a relationship in a domestic abuse relationship is the most dangerous time. You cannot just walk in and say your leaving him now. There are layers and layers to all abusive relationships that are complicated, emotionally, physically , and psychologically. We don’t know the circumstances between the two friends. She invited her to a party, that probably was a way that she could get her friend away to talk. Who knows, but the blame is on the abuser, no one else. No one deserves this type of abuse, especially a woman carrying a child. Placing blame only keeps victims and their loved ones in a place of shame, not a place of healing or safety.
The thing that makes this worse is because my sister went through this and her bf's name was David, and she got pregnant, she had a miscarriage thought. :/ this hits close
For all of those questioning why the friend didn't help, that's pretty common in these situations. Quite often it doesn't matter who you tell or what you say, none of them will help you. Instead you'll be told that it's somehow your fault, that you're exaggerating, that he's just depressed, that you just "need to be nicer to him", etc. More often than not you have to got to the police yourself and be brave enough to tell them what is going on and not get talked out of it by your abuser. There is actually a pretty horrific account on youtube of a man dying after his female partner attacked him for the umpteenth time. He finally admitted she was the one beating him and then when she was arrested he felt guilty and changed his statement because he didn't want to get her in trouble. The police visited him in icu and he seemed to be back on board with giving a true statement but he died the next day. She was finally convicted because of his death, but she got off very lightly.
OR, as with my sister, the abuse was increasing over time and she refuses to leave. then, one day, i knew she was utterly vulnerable and i took charge. got the family together, got a police escort, a uhaul trailer and we moved her out. she stayed with my parents (but could have stayed with us), got counseling, moved back in with him briefly, then went on to a better life. also took her to the bank to get her latest paycheck back in cash and dad took her there after midnight to take out the rest of her paycheck. i will say, had she shown up with visible marks, i'd be in prison for what i'd have done to her husband.
Can she really be called a friend? I would've thrown myself over at the edge of the world before I allow that to happen to not only the people I know, but anyone else. The signs are there for a reason
So many comments blaming the friend or worse, blaming the victim for staying. That’s the point of this clip, if you see something, speak up. And if you’re in an abusive relationship & think it will get better... think again. Ask for help.
