Imagine you are nine years old. Your best friend’s father is arrested, half your classmates disappear from school, and someone burns down the house across the road. Imagine you have to cross a snow-covered mountain range at night in order to escape the soldiers who are trying to kill you. How would you deal with these memories once you are an adult?

And if he hasn’t changed, Evans helps you decide whether it’s time to leave the relationship—and what to do when it is.
