One question ( and please don't take this wrong ) , where was your family ( mom, dad , sister , brother , aunt , uncle ) while all this was going on ?? I know if i had heard about his type of stuff going on against one of my family members , I would be the one in jail for murder and dismemberment .

Had my family been aware, I would not only have been so outta there, but he would have been a dead man. During this portion of the marriage, I was living 45 minutes from my Dad, and 6 hours from my Mother and my Sister. I talked to them all on the phone, of course, but rarely saw them.

Trav told me that should my family ever find out, he would kill me, then hunt every one of them down (including my sister's kids) and kill them, then kill himself. If I leaved, he would do the same. I believed him.

Before people know the whole story, they say, "oh, he wouldn't have done that. He was bluffing." Then I tell them the rest and get a very quiet, "oh"
