Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.

word "abuse," but instead. . . . .
"tumultuous" and "volatile."]]]]
Wallingford Murder Suspect in Custody: Cops
The suspect and the victim had a tumultuous relationship, police said.
Police secured an arrest warrant in the murder of a Wallingford woman.
Susan Mazzarella was found strangled inside her Danny's Way apartment complex July 16. She had been dead for several days before she was discovered, police said.
Investigators focused on Luis Roman, 41, who had a prior relationship with Mazzarella. Roman was released from prison in June, after serving a year-long sentence for two domestic violence incidents involving Mazzarella, according to police. Mazzarella apparently allowed Roman to stay at her apartment after he got out of prison.
After Mazzarella's murder, Roman fled to Tampa, Florida, police said. They received a tip Roman was returning to Connecticut on a bus, and took him into custody July 19 at the bus station in New Haven, charging him with a probation violation.
Police said he later confessed to the crime.
Roman is being held on $1 million bond will be formally charged with murder when he appears in Meriden Superior Court on Wednesday. He is at the New Haven Correctional Facility, according to the state Department of Correction Web site.

The 'intent vs meaning to' thing is a brick wall that my husband and I smash into all the time now.
In his mind, because he didn't INTEND to abuse me, it wasn't his INTENTION to hurt me, it doesn't count as abuse.
I like (well, I can't say that I like, but it interested me) to see that batterers and child sex abusers both have that same excuse:
I lost control. I couldn't help myself.
Reading this article this morning really adds a piece of the missing puzzle to me.
While I knew for certain that my husband does feel that none of it was his fault and I feel differently, I was unable to formulate or put it into words, and reading this article really filed in the blanks for me, and made me see my husband as EVEN MORE OF AN ABUSER than I gave him credit for.
I'm feeling less and less guilty about my October leaving date.
