Black and Blue

This is such a sad story.

Fran Benedetto is a nurse and a mother and a battered wife. She hides the bruises and tells her son she had another accident. Children know though, they hear the yelling and sounds of things breaking and while they don't understand completely they know something isn't right. One day Fran had enough and she contacted a group for helping battered women. They relocated Fran and her son and she became Beth Crenshaw. Ten year old Robert made new friends but he never really settled in because he wanted to go home. He missed his father and wanted to know why they couldn't just go home. One day he called his dad and his father told him his mother had lied about him. He just didn't know what he had set into motion.
