This is part two with Amy. Be sure to listen to part one first. We pick up on Amy and Brian as the turbulence he causes gets much worse. Amy holds onto the hope and good feelings she once felt about Brian, but he has other ideas. Amy matches some characteristics we have seen in other abuse victims: She is affable, generous, optimistic, loyal and forgiving. He becomes the opposite of the man she met online; the man she thought loved. The man who lived under the same roof with Amy and her young daughter.In the beginning, Brian seemed to meet Amy's checklist of the man she was hoping for. But he was actually well-practiced in deception: knowing how to bring her along in a relationship and portray himself as her engaging partner. When he had Amy where he wanted her, the real Brian emerged. And Amy's world turned upside down.Amy's story of abuse gives keen insights into how someone can get completely trapped by a calculating abuser. See how this woman came to doubt her own sanity. After giving Brian more last-chances than he deserved, in part two, Amy seeks help and learns ways to turn the tide. Amy considers herself and her daughter fortunate to get away from Brian alive.
