My statement about my personal experience was nott o condone what this woman has done, but to demonstrate that circumstances vary. I have great grandparents and othe relatives where some married at 15 then stayed married for 65+ years. Was that abuse just because they were only 15 and their mates were 20 or 21? Not hardly..
And Tatiana, my comment certainly could not be downplaying the concept of a female abuser, as there was no females involved in that situation :>)
