I was involved with a woman like this for seven years. No one believed me. She played it all perfectly with her family. Even my own family didn't believe me. She threatened suicide. She had me convinced I would be killed if I left her. She would always say she just wanted me to be happy, but what she really meant is she wanted me to be happy with HER. Anyway, my despair and hatred of her eventually became so much that I was willing to die for my freedom. I packed my stuff and left for my parents temporarily. While there, she shows up, and of course, my Mom let her in. She comes back to my bedroom and tells me she just got back from Texas having sex with some guy so they wouldn't kill me. I was incensed and no longer afraid. I made a beeline for the backdoor and told her "if death or pain are what I have to go through to be free from you, so be it." She would continue to try and call me, but I never answered (this is back when the Motorola Razr's were first out, and as far as I know, no real way to block numbers). Ultimately, it all died down, and nothing happened. She died a few years ago, and all I could say was "good riddance." Freedom is worth everything.
