I just stumbled upon this and I have to agree with you. My sister sat in a relationship for a good two yeas while he demanded a 1940's housewife from her and they eventually moved in. It got to the point she couldn't even come visit me or my boyfriend, because I was a 'bad influence'. Long story short, my boyfriend and I ended up helping her move out in the middle of the night while he was gone and she moved in with us, only to have to put a restraining order on him for all of us, as he was stalking my sister and I and threatening my boyfriend. Now my sister lives far away with our mom and can't come back to our city without worrying about keeping her head ducked.
I definately know and understand this and it really is great to see another person writing about it.
Greatly done, and I would love to add you to my friends list in hopes of reading more.
