Within such households, such intimidation becomes very intense,and
sometimes progresses to murder, suicide, injury, or concealed physical abuse.
I think they actually cancelled "Movie of the Week" a few decades ago.

It's weird how the intimidation can never just trail off. It has to progress.

It's also weird how concealed abuse is a part of this for you. We're into deeply fantasy territory here. Tell me: in this scenario, as you imagine it, if you take away the gun, there's no concealed physical abuse?
