Hi Nige,

Thank you for your most kind comments on this one. I (think) I see what you are referring to in those lines. My intention was to indicate that in many abusive relationships, the protagonist ladles out small measures of "love"..just enough to keep the victim coming back and hoping for more of the good feelings. The victims give and give and give of their love hoping to get some in return. Instead what they get are painful experiences, sometimes under the guise of "what is good for her, what she deserved, etc, until many of them start to believe they do deserve the punishment they receive. However, if what I have said is confusing to readers, I will take another look at that pasage and see if I can clarify it there. Thanks SO much for letting me know! Your read and comments are greatly appreciated.
