Staff Writer Robert Potter's final years were "hell on earth," a Lancaster judge was told Thursday.
DEAR ABBY: My son, "Marshall," is in an abusive marriage. This week, while his military unit was training in another state, his wife had his cell phone turned off. Then she took a cash advance (over the credit limit) against the card Marshall uses while away from home, and canceled his ATM card so he would not have access to money. She did all this because she was angry with him. Marshall had to leave his training early and fly home to straighten out the mess. Abby, she has locked him out of the house and made up allegations of physical abuse and reported them to his command. I have never met anyone so vindictive. This has happened repeatedly during their nine-year marriage.
Separate vacations Your wife takes vacations with your stepchildren and excludes you. Amy's advice:
Dear Annie: I don't know if I'm the victim or the perpetrator, but I know what I'm doing is really bad. After 33 years of a lousy marriage, I am in so much emotional pain that I've been breaking things and throwing them at my husband, as well as punching, kicking and biting out of sheer frustration. I am 55 years old and a size 4. In order to stay that small, I have to eat fewer than 1,200 calories a day. When I eat normally, I gain weight quickly -- sometimes as much as a pound a day.

Jerry Miranda, a Colorado Springs resident, says it's hard to describe what life was like for all those years - walking on pins and needles, not knowing what would set his wife off. Maybe the kids were 10 minutes late from school. Or an innocuous statement would send her into a rage.
Photo Gallery Violence is an everyday fact of life, so much so that we must almost become numb in order to cope. Drunk drivers causing massive pile-ups. Random shootings related to random gang affiliations. The abusive husband stabbing the defenseless wife. An endless parade of mayhem comes through the doors of our two regional trauma centers on a daily basis.

To friends and acquaintances, Stephen L. Trattner was a composed and quiet man who never raised his voice or became excited, a model husband and father ready to lend a helping hand to neighbors or at his children's school. Likewise, his wife, Sin Lam, was, as dozens of online memorials attest, a giving, open, always smiling person who never had a bad thing to say about anyone.
When Robin Cleveland met Christopher Campen, he was all the right things. Great with kids. A gentleman. Someone her friends and family loved. He didn't seem real. Reality hit hard two months after they married -- first with a punch, then more serious abuse, causing Cleveland to file for restraining orders and eventually divorce. But neither kept Campen out of her life.
An act of kindness by a West Virginia family caused a bipolar man, who wasn't taking his medicine and dabbled with heroin, to slaughter a father, a mother, a pregnant daughter, a 17-year-old son and a family friend, the killer's ex-girlfriend said.
