"Dear Abby" Acknowledges Male Victims of Abusive Relationships

Today's Dear Abby column includes a heart-wrenching letter from the parents of a man who lived with an abusive woman for years. Fortunately for him, he's broken free of that relationship, and still maintains contact with his children. The most important part of this column, however, is that Dear Abby acknowledges that women can be perpetrators as well as victims. Scott's update: We'd like to give credit to Neil Steyskal for submitting this too.
