Good points, Naive!
Yeah, when I locked my controlling (emotional) abuser out he kicked the door in AND broke the chair I had braced against it. Fortunately I called 911 the minute he started pounding on the door and the cops came fast. He spent 48 hours in jail and got a restraining order for that episode. Oh, and by the way, he had never done anything like that before. OH!...and it took at least another year and a half before he stopped calling me.
