Chrissy And I Talk, Again

I got Chrissy to sit down with me again. This time we talk about the long journey she and I took as I learned to handle my anger, let go of my control, and come to grips with the abuse I put her through. She shares some of the things she did when I was at my worst to deal with it. How she had plans to leave but just could never commit to the "right" time. Listen until the end as I learn something about her I never knew before. She is one very smart woman!
