American Monster: I Took Her Somewhere (2023)
Season 9, Episode 17
Totally preventable had the parents raised an 'adult', instead of a 'friemd' who'd love them (this problem's WAY too common).

Yawn,

This is (yet) another story of parents (the mother - who says she worked 'in TV' is seriously frightening-looking; I've rarely seen such cheap, botched plastic surgery on someone. Terrifying. Not only that, this woman can't have been that old and needing surgery), who - in their misguided attempt to not alienate their daughter, really never taught her anything about how to act responsibly, and then, when she becomes involved with someone (who mommy let's move into their home - STUPID!!!) only kicks this young woman out AFTER she walloped her daughter, causing her to lose a tooth.

I'm from a family that never tried to influence my personal choices, etc., but, they did teach me how to act like a grown-up, and take responsibility.

This mother's over-riding fear of 'losing' her daughter, forever (even though the daughter never said anything like that) helped to cause this tragedy

There are times when a parent MUST let go.

There ARE times when a parent says, 'This is your adult life. You can't live here with your partner, but, I'm always your parent, and will always love you'.

This parent is one who - though it's never made clear how much 'stuff' she has bought for her daughter, and the daughter wasn't as being spoilt, as some I've seen, this was a problem whose roots can be traced back to childhood, as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, it's a terrible crime to lose a loved one, but, this wasn't like something we all hear on the news. Stories like a person (minding their own business) being brutally attacked and killed after leaving their job, or something which truly had no logic.

This was a(NOTHER) parent, who, in an utterly misguided attempt to keep their child 'loving them', never put any rules in place, and when it became apparent the now adult child wasn't able to make rational adult choices, let her bring her (misguided) choices into their home.

Dumb.
