Actually, i meant it literally. Abusers threatened harm to my friends and other loved ones if i didn't comply and the ab**tion was forced on me but your point is well taken and i thank you for it and your insight.

The similarities are striking really. It would make a great deal of sense if my parts were constructed echoing the actual threats experienced and my responses to them. You're very wise and warm and i thank you so much for your caring.
