By the way, she is NOT "all work and no play." She enjoys her family, friends, church group, creative projects, laughter, good food, and long walks. She loves practical jokes and once - just for fun - attended and "graduated" from "comedy school."

Statistical Note: Of all calls to the National Domestic Abuse Hotline for help, 95% are for emotional abuse. Other informal studies indicate that approximately one person out of every four couples is suffering (often secretly) from emotional abuse with no idea where or who to turn to for guidance and support. Many who might be of help do not understand the gravity and truth of emotional abuse and, consequently, hurt the victims more.
