Lifetime movie about a woman killing an abusive husband?

Does anyone know what this movie is called... I think it was based on a true story about a woman who marries a governors son. I think she had a kid or two before marrying him, then had some with him. The husband was abusive and would make his wife cook him steak while her and the kids could only have tuna fish. She ends up shooting him in the end. Sorry but that is all I can remember, it is an older one.

Update:

well sorry but I need to find it because of a study on the difference between narcissism and socialpath... and from that movie I am trying to obtain the peoples name so I can search the names and reports.

    I'm not religious, but I do have heavy sociological / anthropological background. If you feel the need to "fear" your God, then it's because you feel guilty for something, or you want to feel victimized. Most folks don't fear their God. They love their God. God is like the ultimate leader. As Machiavelli said, a good leader must be both loved and feared. If he is just loved, then people will still do what they want against his wishes at times. If he is just feared, then they won't love their own lives, only doing what he wants out of fear of ramifications. If they love and fear him, then they will do what he wants out of love and respect first, and out of fear second. Let me try to use a different analogy for God... God, in most peoples' eyes, is like a good parent. A good parent uses 2 parts love and 1 part discipline to ensure people lead a good life. 1 part love is unconditional. God loves you unconditionally, because you are his creation. (Just as a parent loves their child unconditionally). 1 part love is for positive reinforcement. God shows you love to reward your good behavior. This is what most folks call "blessings", "miracles", etc. Parents do the same with them children; give them hugs when they succeed. 1 part discipline is used for negative reinforcement. God punishes people when they've been bad. Parents do the same to children. Now, most people will follow a Godly life simply because they respect and love God due to 1 part unconditional love, and 1 part positive reinforcement. If that doesn't work then they fear the 1 part discipline. However, what's "blessing" and "punishment" from God is subjective. Different religions, and even individuals, may see something as a blessing while others see it as a curse. Everyone can see whatever they want into something. When a mother hugs a child, it's pretty tangible that it's a hug. But, when a person finds $5 on the street is that a blessing? What if it just enables them to do something bad? I think the better way to look at God is that he gives people chances. The $5 is an opportunity. How the person chooses to use that opportunity dictates whether it's a "blessing" or "curse".

    I am trying to remember the name of two movies. They both played on LMN. One was about the husband trying to fond his wife. She calls him and threatens him, the husband hits his wife's father with a bat in the previews. He also drowns a girl because she says she doesn't know where the wife is.

    the second one is like enough. Please help.
