It’s not love
One in four women have been, are or will be domestically abused. If you are not sure whether you are or not, you quite possibly are. Please go to a mental health counselor for a chat to find out. If you must go secretly, go secretly, but go now. Abusive or controlling behavior is not love. It’s a psychological problem for both people and a behavior pattern that grows worse over time. Most women who are murdered are murdered by significant others. This IS a matter of life and death. —MR
