That's odd, because I know a guy who claims just the opposite happened to him. Does that take into account the read-headed stepchild?

When I first heard the story from my friend, I thought it a little odd that an abuser would single someone out and not just be an "all around" abusive type. So, should I doubt the veracity of his story?
