Three Families Bbc

[Prudie]

Is anyone else watching this? First part last night, then tonight and tomorrow. It's normally not my thing but I was drawn in from the start. It made me so angry to see how women/abortion were treated by so many people in Northern Ireland. It was like 50s mentality but set in 2010 or later. I know it's a sensitive subject but really it was heartbreaking. Based on real life stories too.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, I watched it and I agree with all you say - they are tales I have heard direct and it's truly awful.

Well acted too.

[bednobs]

i watched about 10 mins but it was too close for comfort for me - i was in the position of the merlin couple in 2017, but was treated much better

[Mamyalynne]

I can well imagine that Bednobs, I am very fortunate indeed never to have been in situations like those covered.

I watched it too and it was moving but you know what - we don't live in those dark green walls, brown curtains, brown walls with the dimmed lights. I know they were trying to make the story more bleak. But for me I live in a very very bright house, with snow white walls and golden curtains that are draped over/side of windows.

I find all NI programmes/dramas they make them so dark and dreary

Yes watched the first tonight. It does make you feel very angry how females are treated by MEN!

I saw both episodes and could not believe what I was seeing. How can one human being force another to give birth to either a still born baby or one who would not survive once born These attitudes are so draconian and, in my opinion, evil. Very sorry Patsy, but it's not only men. I will leave it there.

I agree fbg, I thought the women were far worse actually. Just thankful I wasn't born a Catholic in NI, I might have been brought up with the same attitude.

[Patsy33]

Yes, but it all originates with man. Spreading fear through religion, causing men and women to react like this. So sad.
