Due to watching a Sibling return repeatedly to an abusive Relationship, I plan to follow this Story long-term.
On the surface, Codie aspects of this Story resemble many Stories here over on the F&F Threads, IMO. They deserve compassion.
I use Articles like this to chase down other Sources cited, and formulate my own POV. I don't take any Article uncritically at face value.
