But this is what abusers are like. My ex h could fool everyone. And the things Tom is saying to Belle — he said similar to me. I was older, late 30s, had more life experience than Belle. Yet he still ground me down, terrified me. He could kill Belle and make it look like suicide…..
He even did the moving away thing exactly as Tom is doing tho he didn’t get a job. There really is a Script. So much of this really does happen.
