can someone help me figure out what movie this is?

OK so I saw it when I was in high school so between the years of 2008 and 2012…

A young girl probably about 17 or 18 meets a guy online who’s in prison and getting out. They’re both white and blonde by the way. He gets out of prison and meets up with her and they start a relationship and she doesn’t tell her mom that he is an ex convict. Then his friend gets out of prison and joins the two of them, meanwhile, The mom gets really worried and starts digging into it… I think maybe he tries to get her away from her mom and the mom rescues her in the end before he hurts her.

I can’t remember the name and any searches I do come up with nothing since there’s hundreds of lifetime movies similar to that… any help??

Deadly Wives Club / Death the cul-de-sac

I just finished this movie and it was one of the worst lifetime movies I've ever watched. The acting was terrible, the protagonist super annoying and the story very boring and too confused at the same time. And can we talk about its secong title: Death in the cul-de-sac? I know that many movies have strange titles that have nothing to do with the plot, but this is the wtf worst.

Does anyone happen to remember the name of this lifetime movie?

I am 100% sure it was a lifetime movie and pretty positive it aired in the early 2000s, but could have possibly been late 90s. I'm also relatively sure it was 4 hours long (with commercials), but I'm not positive

It was about a woman who leaves a domestic violence situation (a couple of times) and ends up in a domestic violence shelter. She meets another woman who is also leaving a DV situation and they become friends (they also both have children I'm pretty sure) and that woman's ex husbands finds her, and stabs her in front of the main character. I think it MIGHT have been based on a true story. I can't remember anything else but I would really like to watch it again

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Betty Broderick

Probably one of the most infamous movie we’ve all watched in here is A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story.

Betty has passed

https://www.tmz.com/2026/05/08/betty-broderick-dead-dies-murderer-husband/

I know she did a horrible thing but I will always believe that she was driven to it. Her husband did everything in his power to gaslight her and drive her crazy. He used his legal position to take what was rightfully hers and threw her away for a younger model. He bullied her, lied about his affair for years, telling her she was crazy.

The other part of me gets really angry that Betty let him do this to her. Betty was smart, educated, and could’ve had it all had she just moved on. Dan wasn’t shit to her. She didn’t have to resort to violence. But I guess when someone breaks you down over and over again, you snap.

I’ll be watching both movies in her memory.

Lifetime movies running on weekends are horrible lately!

Why have Lifetime movies that run on weekends been so bad? It’s all day and on a rainy weekend I like watching Lifetime, but “The Man With My Husband’s Face, “The Boy with my Son’s Face”, “The Son with my Doctor’s Face”and it’s one after another with these stupid movies.
