Domestic Violence/Partner Abuse

Until I was in an abusive relationship, I had no real clear idea of how easy it is to miss the signs of a battering personality that dixielady posted. It was only in hindsight that I realized how much I had rationalized or dismissed or simply didn't recognize for what it was. I was frankly startled to find myself in that situation because I've always been a strong, independent person... it's shockingly easy to lose perspective.
