Thank you for posting this. Meyer never intended this novel to be classified as YA. I myself was once involved in an abusive relationship, and in reading this series, never once did I relate Bella and Edward's relationship to mine. I got out and am happily married, for almost nine years, but Edward's actions were not even close to being the same as my ex-boyfriend. I think teenage girls who read this like the drama and romance. I really don't see them focusing on the "control issues" that so many of you are talking about. I loved the series.
Just my two cents!
