Glad you got out when you did.

That makes sense too. My ex was very jealous any time I worked and had income of my own. He was so insecure.

Women can be bullies too.

Makes sense. I had a very controlling mother. She was manipulative and bipolar her entire life.

Wow, had no idea. Do you have a link to study or other that explains this in further detail?

That's what it took for me to leave too. The day he hurt one of our children was the last straw. He didn't stop there though. He assaulted a police officer and went to jail. Was a dead-beat-dad after that. I tried to leave earlier, but it was difficult with multiple preschool kids and I was only 22.

Study (N=815) finds domestic violence starts w/ coercive control over who a partner can see, what they wear, where they can go or questioning the partner's sanity. On average, physical abuse doesn't start until after marriage or moving into together.
