What an evil disgusting horrible woman to inflict all that abuse, pain and misery on that poor man and in-front of those innocent children too. It makes me sick.

4 years just wasn’t enough for her. Richard was so brave and I hope he and the girls can go on a live a happy peaceful life. 😢

Dear Richard. If you ever read this comment, I’d like too say, I’m so sorry for what you went through, You are a survivor and not a victim, never think of yourself of being weak, being strong got you through this and that shows great strength in your character and your loving nature. Yes, it will take some time too to process your emotions and feelings but you will get there! No one has the right to abuse anybody. I hope you find happiness for you and your beautiful children because you deserve to be loved and cared for like everybody does. Time does heal, stay strong, it took great courage to finally speak out, I’m just lost for words. I really hope a love that you’ve never had before finds you and you can enjoy the rest of your life knowing this awful awful experience is over. Xx

It’s not always the man who’s the abuser. People don’t think about that.

[jainiktinny]

You, Sir are my hero. Thank you for telling your story. Thank you very much.

I watched this in disbelief and horror. To do what she did to Richard, was absolutely sickening. Their children saw and heard it all. What will that do to them psychologically?? I had to keep stopping the pieces of footage to catch my breath. Four years for almost killing the man. I am truly shocked by that. I hope Richard and his daughters receive counselling for all they have been through.

The most admirable selfless man and amazing father. His only concern through his torment and torture was for his children and his abusive wife. He did not want it to break the family up and thought he could make his wife happy and turn her life around. It broke my heart watching this. Seeing him in an interview recently you can clearly see that this has left him somewhat a broken man but I was happy to see that his daughters are thriving in his care and he’s now found happiness with a new partner for which he thoroughly deserves. I hope he finds the stability and security that he should have had in his marriage. Many woman would love to have a devoted sensitive husband like Richard. Her loss is now someone else’s gain and I wish him his new partner and his children all the luck for the future from here on moving forward.

I went from sad to angry so many times watching this documentary, I was felt depleted after it was over. Men should know that they are not alone. I hope this documentary raises more awareness on domestic abuse. I also hope the Spencer family except Sheree heals in time and finds happiness that they deserve.

Just watched this. Absolutely disgusting they bailed her especially after the police seen the knife video. If a man done that to a woman he would not be getting away with it

[enhlemthethwa]

Dear Richard...i pray for your healing, i hope you will recover from this, you deserve all the peace and happiness

[karma........]

Cried all thru this footage 😪😪😪
Richard you are so brave and a great father.

[leejones]

This was a hard watch as someone who was abused physically and mentally this hits home.

[angeleyes]

I’m watching this now and it’s horrendous. This woman is a monster, she’s hitting him and swearing at him while the little children are there. It’s shocking to watch but important to show. How he didn’t snap and strangle her or something I don’t know. She’s so angry fuelled a lot of the time by alchohol. The poor man lived like this for years, I don’t know how he put up with it. I hope he’s living a happy life now

[Hyzenthlay]

This docu made me cry.. What a lovely man... I would cuddle him

[markyruss]

Sorry this may sound harsh but he could have stopped this years ago, He should have protected them kids more so.. !!! I found them both a little weird !!

[phina]

This reminds me of Alex Skeel, and the police officer that basically saved him in the 11th hour..

[bimbobaggypants]

Not many men will be brave like this man to report abuse by a partner because of the feeling of shame.

[alanalycan]

Those poor children were practically begging their mum to stop 😢 terrible mother.... So glad Dad is now happy & has HIS children to live happily ever after 🥰🙏♥️

[lorna]

Narcissist abuse is not ok for anybody having experienced it for 15years I had to walk away from a nice house in a nice area ..it's taken alot of courage for this to exposed Richard I totally commend your strength .. there's help out there to heal for both parties ❤

[CatsandJP]
