A Dangerous Son Page #3

---

Is this Dark Side of the Moon?

Seriously, I like this song.

No, not the Dark Side.

No, shush, you guys.

I like this song.

Alison:
She just wants

you guys to listen.

Shut up.

Elexa:
Stop!

Stacy:

Stop.

Shut up, Elexa!

Stacy:
Stop.

We're not gonna yell.

All right?

I hate her!

That's why.

Stacy:

That's your sister--

Shut up!

Shut up!

I will kill you!

Ethan, do you wanna

go outside, honey?

Shut up!

(women chatter)

God damn it, I will--

I'm gonna--

I'm gonna fricking punch you,

Elexa, if you don't... stop.

No, you stop it!

Stop. Now.

Stacy:

Elexa. Elexa, move.

Ethan:

Whatever! Go! Go! Go!

Stacy:
Stop.

Stacy:
Damn it.

Ethan:
I don't want

to be touched!

(Elexa whimpers)

(sighs)

Stacy:

I just can't

handle this.

Eth?

(sighs)

I don't know what to say.

One wrong word sends me

into a psychotic rage

where I've got no control

over myself,

and it's like...

watching myself...

do things that

I didn't want to do.

And then afterwards, I--

I either completely forgot,

like I'd block

all the memories,

because it was

too painful to remember,

or I would remember

and that would be

even more painful,

because I would have memories

of myself doing it,

even though I didn't want to,

even though I had no control,

I still accused myself

of doing it.

(channels switching)

There's just been countless

episodes with him,

and I just see, uh, the anger

and the, um...

the violence getting

progressively worse.

Can he turn to family?

Well, sure,

but when he acts

like that, no.

I can't have my child

exposed to that,

and I have to be protective

of my child.

I think my--

my nephew needs

professional help.

I don't even know

if it's anything Stacy

can do anymore.

I can't keep defending him.

I can't--

I can defend him so far,

but I can't expect

the rest of the world

to not get upset

or just forgive him

or just deal with it.

I can't expect that,

I never did.

He constantly threatens

he's going to kill somebody,

and when people hear that,

it sends them into a mode.

You don't know

if he's serious.

If somebody

comes up to you

and gets mad at you

and tells you,

"I'm gonna effing kill you.

I'm gonna beat your ass.

I'm gonna find a gun

and shoot you,"

whether he would do it

or not, you don't know.

But the fact that somebody

would say that to you,

and you're

sitting there wondering,

"Are they capable of it?"

"Mom! Come here!"

"Hold on!"

"Mom!"

"Be quiet, Ethan!"

"No, you!"

(grunts)

And he hits me,

and he pulls my hair...

and he kicks me...

and he...

pulls my arm...

to the wall,

and he pushes me

to the wall.

And...

he beats me up...

like that.

And one time...

um, Josh, my mom's boyfriend,
