Snipped, please forgive me for snipping but this is the point I wanted to make, I was an abused woman, I suffer horrible horrible ptsd, I get yelled at all the time by my shrink for going on these boards (apparently web sleuthing is not good for ptsd ), but anyway, you are so right when you said "they dont seem angry enough" because when you are beaten down to that point, you have no self worth or self esteem at all, you feel like you almost deserved everything that was dished out to you, its so hard for someone to understand this unless you have been through it. I will say this though, I was never that 'accepting' of what happened to me, I just didnt know how to handle it, my kids were involved so it was a different story for me though, I got the HECK out of there...I understand why Crystal may not seem to be overly affected by the abuse, but I wonder why she is waiting till now to really do anything about this...I would have been breaking the door down to see my kids!!!
Hi Polygraph, I'm sorry you went thru that misery. I got to the point I couldn't look anyone in the eye when talking to them.
I think Crystal is doing something now because she has a back in Kim. Otherwise it could be very hard for her. His exertion of control is probably still affecting her life and so she is still being abused by him IMO. xox
