It was easy to think once she was removed from the situation any length of time that she should have left him. Run away sooner from her entire life. Once a man became violent with his wife, it was always just a matter of time before it happened again. She knew there was no excuse for putting up with that kind of behavior even if it occurred so infrequently she could remember every time he was violent. It wasn't ten percent of the time or even one percent of the time. The number was so infinitesimal if she considered every day that they had been together that there wasn't even a percentage she could assign it. All she knew was that one time was too many.
