Story Nerd: I know this may sound bad to you but you were fortunate that you got out and saw a happy ending. My daughter tolerates this treatment because she's afraid he can take her kids. It seems ridiculous but if she will not press charges there is nothing I can do but sit back and worry, wait, and wonder. That Terry did not come after you, regardless of how brave you were, was nothing less than a miracle. I am so happy about the love and peace you found.
