blackmailing
i think this is the main thing here. The whole taping thing in their own home, without distributing is a little weird, but blackmailing is not legal as far as i know.
Also, imagine the thought of your friends seeing you get over angry at your kids because you are sick and tired of cleaning up after them and because the guy you are living with doesn't do anything either. She's probably under a lot of stress with dealing with her kids and the guy she's dealing with. It sounds to me like he's an asshole, so he probably adds a lot of stress.
She probably overreacted and probably had done so many times before, which is why the guy taped her in the first place. I wouldn't want my friends seeing me like that, because they might judge. I think most people would act the same way, but want to take it back right after it happened.
I have overreacted during breakups and such with ex-girlfriends. Like my last girlfriend, which wasn't all that long ago. I felt like i was kind of being walked all over and pushed to the side, when in reality, all i needed to do was realize that she didn't want me that way anymore. I got angry and overreacted and said and did a lot of things i really regret and would take back in a second, if i could. I didn't get violent or yell or anything silly like that, but i said some shitty things that were out of line. I'm pretty sure a lot of people do that from time to time too.
Either way, my point.
She's probably in the same boat, because i wouldn't want any of my friends knowing how i acted during that breakup, even though it wasn't that bad. I'm sure she's thinking the same thing. She probably doesn't want her friends seeing this video of her getting angry at her kids, because she feels that she's not that person, or she's ashamed of it. She does need to leave, but i can see why the fear would keep her there.
