Superb Post Charishma,
Most of the people who abuse are charming, their charm is the one makes abused person attracted to them. Abused girls in general can't live with the the abuser and can't leave the abuser, they are emotionally confused, that is theory behind the Stockholm syndrome.I hope Chikni is right but I doubt it, lets see what is on the writers mind, will wait.
I wonder if RK wasn't as charming or attractive how many ppl would support him.
