I don't know anyone currently....unfortunately, I put myself into that category. Not physical as much as emotional and mental abuse. I wasted many years of my life, 17 to be exact, thinking that the things that were happening to me and in my relationship, (I call it a relationship loosely....I can do that now) were normal, no friends, no phone calls, isolated, everything controlled down to the half hour lunch I got at work. If I didn't "check in" while I was working, something was "going on" that's just the beginning. I feel for those people who have their identities taken from them in the guise of a relationship. Street Angel, home devil.
