Anna described this partner as her “husband” for “all intents and purposes” and noted that they’d been together for six years.
“About six years in, about somewhere around there, I remember telling my brother, when things had first kind of gone down, ‘I’m living with a stranger. Like, I don’t know what’s happening,’” she recalled.
“It was so alarming, and it was so much easier for me to assume I was crazy or I was doing something wrong,” she said.
“I can’t bring up the fact that I’m scared of you because when I do, you get really scary,” she recalled thinking.
