CGiii Comment

Not an easy subject to tackle...but, Josef Steiff has...with skill and maturity - here's hoping it was not from experience.

An abusive relationship is not love...even though you feel love, it's one-sided, unrequited. Indeed, love is a multi-faceted thing...the one thing it is not...is abusive...no matter how much the abusers try to justify themselves.

Intense.
