You are right, Josephine.
I used have many victims as clients. It’s easy to notice if you pay attention.
Wife controls everything especially the family finances and holidays. Husband says a little when the wife is around. And it happens in all levels of education, class, race, & religion. Women suffer more when you add religion.
My professional experience shows the abusers are always the nicest and proper men and women to the outsiders. And to their spouses when they are outside.
Watch out for nicer a wife and a husband. I don’t mean kindness!
Thanks for educating us!
