I can't think of a fitting punishment for men who abuse their spouses, either emotionally or physically. Slow torture prolonged over years is the best I can up with. In the meantime, please know that some men such as myself are sickened by my fellow y-chromosomers and are on your side. More power to you and your message.

Ive been in an abusive marriage since I was 17. I am now 69..I dont live with him anymore but I am still very dependent on him.I dont leave the house unless its with him.I dont know me anymore.He can make me feel good and then he can make me feel so bad and hurt.I think about the woman that was kidnapped when she was 11 in calif. They brainwashed her.Sometimes I feel that way but not nearly as bad as her.Sometimes I feel like its the stockhome syndrom..(mispelled).

I'm reading this book now! Leslie is an amazing writer!

I spent five years in an emotionally and sometimes physical abusive relationship. I have been choked, had my lip busted, been knocked out, had my nose bloodied, and been mentally tortured beyond beliefe. I finally lost it one day and made him leave my home! Luckily I have some big men in my family that made sure he left peacefully.

Living with abuse is like a dirty secret.

Louise-

There are places that can help. I work at a domestic violence agency and we help women like you everyday. Call your local D.V agency.

He to had the same rages your ex husband showed. I coulnt belove how much i related to your story i was shocked. Your book is amazing. Thank you for such inspirational work. Hope to read more books from you :)

Leslie, I am fiercely proud of you. I never knew any of this. God bless you for your bravery to share.

I have never read a 325-page book in 24 hours. Ever.

Love,

All of these men were what I consider to be psychopaths. All were trying to kill me off either literally or destroy me in some other way but I am the one who is considered to be crazy!! This is a mad bad world. I'm happy that some women eventually find happiness, but I have given up looking and do not trust anyone anymore. The men who do this to women go unpunished and they do not even throw a backward glance at the misery and devastation they leave behind them.
