I agree .... no one here really knows either of these people. I have interacted with them in the past and both were enjoyable to be with. What has changed in their lives we really have no knowledge of. Both were in law enforcement before moving here and retired law enforcement officers still might have weapons...and permits to have such. Have a retired state police officer as a family member...and he still has his pistol.

Something went wrong between two individuals and judgment should be reserved. Maybe he was controlling, maybe he wasn't...we really don't know, and we might never know.

Domestic violence is something so many don't talk about...it really is difficult to deal with and for many people, ignored. Those abused, can become the abuser as they get older. It's up to parents to help their children, male and female, realize that abuse is not the way to gain power or respect.

Don't mean to get to preaching, it's just painful to realize that two people I've interacted with and enjoyed being around now have lives that are forever changed.
