Yeah, domestic violence. I'm not yet a month out of the DV shelter - I lived there for five months, so I'm über-sensitive to statements like 'I can't leave because I love him/her'. Abusive relationships crush your soul, to the point where you cannot help anyone, not even yourself, not even your own children. Ask me how I know...

AFAIK-as far as I know
AFAICS- as far as I can see.

Eta: I owe my getting out to my T. That's kind of where I'm coming from when I tell you you're going to be a T. One day it might be you who is in the position to give a woman her life back.
