It is absolutly true that women can be abusive.

A close relative of mine was abused by his wife for over 30 years. She constantly put him down, kept him from his friends and family, and controled him. He was a successful businessman but he had to sneak out to see his grandchildren.

After he retired it got much worse because he no longer had an excuse to leave the house without her.

At the end of his life, he had to have brain sugery and afterwords, his wife checked him out of the hospital early. She kept food from him and refused to let a doctor visit him at home.

The family kept trying to get him to leave and offered to take him in so he could be away from her, but he refused. I think that he may have almost forgotten that he could live without her.

There are evil women as well as evil men.

Aye, so true. I was married to one back in the early '90s. She was verbally, emotionally and on a few occasions physically abusive. It took me only about 18 months to open my eyes and say, "To hell with this nonsense."

And I walked. Of course, I was "the bad guy" for "abandoning" her...yadda-yadda-yadda.

I've since heard she remarried. Part of me feels sorry for the poor bastard that's her current husband.
