Lynn, 'He saw an opportunity to control me, to trap me into a relationship with him. He thought that once he got me pregnant, I would have the baby, and that would hold control over me and I would never leave.' Lynn, 'I eventually felt like I was made to feel like I was failing as a spouse and as a woman.' Lynn, 'You cannot change someone that doesn't want to change. You could legitimately lose yourself and your life in the process. It's not worth it.' Lynn, 'I want women out there to know that they are not alone.'
