I’m an abused woman. What should I do?
Possessive, jealous, angry, controlling--
oh, and violent when drunk
Dear Doug:
My husband Pete is possessive, jealous and angry. We fight constantly and argue over everything. When I go to a store, he demands to know which store and when I'm going to be home. Sometimes, he checks my undergarments to see that I've returned home in the same pair I left with. Once, he turned violent when he was really drunk. I forgave, but will never forget.
I don't want a divorce because he can be a really great guy, but I'm beginning to wonder. What should I do?
Signed,
Unhappily married

Dear Codependent,
While other columnists might simply explain that "Pete is showing signs of an abuser...and he is willing to hurt ...
