It got very violent, you know?

You know, it got to the point where I'm like, why am I doing this? Because I always knew I was a strong person, and I don't know what it was about him that in the beginning I allowed it or why was I, you know, fearing him. And I thought about it. I'm like, okay. Okay. That's enough. You have these sons around here. They're watching this. You have to protect yourself.
