Bad enough to leave? Or good enough to stay?

Wise Readers:

The orientation of your question is important.

Abuse is scientifically defined as a systematic program of controlling another person. Abusers can use any means: money, threats, put-downs, public humiliation, physical injury, sexual harm. But it all comes down to control.

I want you all to be very caref...
