  1. Yes, abusers do want pay-back if their victim leaves, and big time, as my abuser has done. I hope that he is getting very tired of my persistence in unwrapping the truth for all to see after many decades of silence in protecting him while he abused me physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

    I did inform of his violence against me in front of a judge and 2 lawyers recently. That act itself helped to restore my spirit and validated my experience.

  2. This is a good article. Thank God someone has their head on straight.
