Rob is a 'textbook case' as a domestic abuser starting by alienating 'the victim' from family and friends, manipulation, taking control of their lives and finally possibly physical abuse.
People who are in love even those who are highly intelligent can still be victims of domestic abuse, doctors, lawyers it is all going on behind closed curtains. People just don't realise it is happening to them until it is too late.
It is quite a good story line from the perspective of raising public awareness to domestic abuse.
This story line has a long way to run I think .
(I hasten to add I am not a victim but attended a course as part of my training for a charity
