Deanna knows how to pick 'em! Seriously, though, congrats to you for getting him out of there. So many people would "go with the flow" because they love someone, etc. Then they end up as a statistic.
I was one of those people - my GF right out of college was a violent psycho. I stuck around cause I loved her. Next thing I knew, the cops were getting called to our apartment once a week because the neghbors thought I was beating her. Once the cops got there, they saw it was the other way around. They even tried to contact me while she wasn't there to try and "help me out of the situation". I finally left her - but it wasn't pretty. Good times!
