Dear Amy: In high school, I had a boyfriend who was addicted to cocaine. He became very mentally, physically, and sexually abusive.
My best friend at the time knew him, but she knew nothing about what was happening in the relationship.
After leaving the relationship with the boyfriend, I ended up going to a mental hospital.
While I was hospitalized, she and I reconnected. I told her all about this abuse. She is very aware of the physical and psychological scars I still have.
