After he gunned the car while I was getting out, he took me back to the beach house where we were vacationing. For 2 days, I tried to decide what to do, I was broken. My daughter packed the car & we ran back home 3 states away. We packed what we could of our things & fled before he returned. A week later, I had a full hip replacement.
