Dangerous Intentions 3/9

Two women forced to deal with the ugly specter of domestic violence find support in one another in this made-for-television drama, inspired by a true story. Beth (Donna Mills) has spent years in a violent relationship with her husband Tim (Corbin Bernsen), who batters her on a regular basis. One day, Beth reaches the end of her rope, packing up her daughter and leaving her husband behind. Tim, however, isn't about to let Beth go, and begins following her every move. In order to put an end to his stalking, Beth enters a shelter for abused women, where she meets Kaye (Robin Givens), a fellow beaten spouse. Beth and Kaye become fast friends, and they decide to find a house together. However, Kaye unfortunately also has a husband who refuses to leave her be, and when her former spouse violently attacks her, it's up to Beth to see that justice is done.

@barrie928 Go girl! Stay strong instead of a BF or a husband how about a GF or a wife? LOL! Seriously though great for you to leaving a bad marriage, most women wouldn't do it until the damage has gotten worse or someone is killed.

I divorce my ex husband for verbal abuse and emotional abuse, I was pregnant with five months with my younger son. I didn't want my both sons to grow up with abusive father. I went back to college to finish my nursing degree. Thanks to God, I now making alot of money, so I could raise my both sons and give them better life. I'm now afraid of having bf or husband....

Two things. First of all, I love her sweatshirt. Second, some people don't realize how tough it is for a wife to leave her abuser. In Beth's case, Tim had a steady, good paying job and she didn't. Courts won't allow spousal abuse as grounds for custody, so Laurie would've gone to Tim in the divorce. In other cases, abusers make their wives feel useless without them and dependent on them so they won't leave. It isn't always as simple as up and leaving.
