Yeah, I'm not sure how much control he had. Some, obviously, because he didn't hit me or anything. And mostly we could talk it out and reach some insights - which is really the point, isn't it? But it was exhausting, and I was walking on eggshells all the time. I was scared to come home from work, because I never knew who I was going to meet - Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde.
