Pierce: It Turns Out Mike Pence Has Been Working on Being Unlikable for Decades

1. Yikes. He browbeat his "Mother" into submission.

From reading the article, it tells me Pence has made his wife's life a living hell. He made her feel damaged. Tainted. Dirty.

She is living a life where she will never - ever - measure up to his ideal woman (or "godliness" ) and I'll wager he has held that over her head their entire time together.

And, she, obviously too weak to challenge him, has become as close to that warped perfection as she could - through years of bending to his distorted thinking. So much so she has become peripheral to her own life, her own marriage.

Only something and somebody if he is something or somebody - and then only if he allows it.

Yeah, I know I'm surmising a lot from a little but I've worked shelters for abused women and this is not a new story to me.
