Figuring out that you're in an emotionally abusive relationship is really tough. That's why it took me so many years. Even though I continued to make the choice that hurt myself, a few friends continued to be supportive without being cruel or judgemental to either party. I can't give y'all enough praise and am thankful for your I-told-you-sos. And to her 'death-stare' supporters, nothing can dismantle the relief I feel from escaping. —Steve McQueen is My Co-Pilot
