Have you ever met a person whom you thought was nice and decent, but ended up being your enemy? Now imagine you have children with this same person, after it was too late to find out how evil a person can get get by a misunderstanding. This is a memoir of a man who had to escape from the mother of his children, in order to prevent violence! Instead she craved all of that drama, and created it into a series of revengeful acts, for leaving her dwelling! Her dwelling was like a work release program for inmates, not for a man, not for a husband, and not as a father.  Physical and emotional abuse suffered by a man is not uncommon.  It does go underreported and brushed under the rug.  Because "men can deal and cope with it." Not true.  Men are human also.
