Micky's ex showing their kid the documentary
Terrible parenting, her husband should have walked out on her and taken the kid
shareNo, she should have seen the documentary, because if her uncle is "the pride of" her neighborhood, every kid at her school will have seen it, as well as every neighbor and relative. When it's impossible to shelter a kid from something unpleasant, as it was in this case, better to give her accurate information than let her hear about it second hand from unkind people.
Saying the mother should lose custody for that is just wierd.

Hey at least she'll know to stay away from her uncle
she was a kid...she did not need to see that.
shareshe was a kid...she did not need to see that.
^^This. She hated Micky & Dicky and didn't care that it showed them in a bad light, she was a kid that didn't need to see people getting high like that. That was just uncalled for.

Granting your premise just for the sake of argument (I don't necessarily think it's better to punch your kid in the face just because kids at school might do it so doing it first is better), don't you think there were much better less bitter bitchy ways to do it? Like sit the kid down and talk to her about her uncle, his drugs problems, his struggles?
What she was doing was trying to turn her kid against her father and his family.
I understand it must have been hard to live with his family but using them to take him down in the eyes of his kid, that's low and uncalled for. He had nothing to do with his brother's problems.

Yeah, she seemed to be letting her watch the documentary out of spite more than what it should have been used for, an educational moment to show her why she should never ever touch that stuff. What's funny is that the real documentary is completely different than what is portrayed in The Fighter. It's about crack addicts in Lowell but Dickie wasn't in it all that much and there was no mention of a come back fight that I can remember.
