my job? Do I have to account for every place I go and keep track
of how long I am gone? Do I get accused of cheating? Am I
threatened with violence, having my children taken away, hurting
my loved ones or my pets? Do I feel guilty or trapped when the
abuser threatens suicide? If you answered yes to any of these
