You are a grown ass woman and you can say no to creepy sex perverts.

"He raped me for the seven hundredth time! I was completely shocked!" - All the women in these types of stories.

Now, I know, abuse or abusive relationships can do strange things to people but, at some point...as you said, they're adults. Leave if you're not comfortable with it. And you certainly don't get to be shocked. Disturbed, annoyed, hurt, degraded, sure. Shocked? Nope. You keep going back.

Basically, this is one of those stories where I despise everyone involved. Except the son who, again if the allegations are true, is a victim of massively bad parenting. But, yeah, everyone else here is a shit person.
