Behind closed doors, however, Jaylene is living a nightmare.

Her husband, Marcus, is very jealous, controlling, verbally abusive, and physically violent. He apologizes after every assault, promising it will never happen again. Jaylene believes him because she loves him and hopes the man she married will return.
