Just want to say that I think you have hit the nail on the head as far as train of thought/frame of mind in an abusive relationship. So much of that resonated with me and reminded me of my own experience. “He’s a good guy” “it’s my fault for not showing that” “I did something I shouldn’t have” “I owe him this because of something I did” are all things I thought in my own abusive marriage. This is such a tricky and heavy subject and I think you are doing it right. I look forward to seeing where you take things from here. Great job so far.

Author's Response: Thank you so much. It means everything to hear from someone else who has gone through stuff like that that I am doing it right. This story, Pam's experiences, are really built on my own. It's great to be free. :)
