You have made a terrible mistake in going back to Chris Brown. Forgiving him does not mean you have to take him back. You can forgive him and still WALK AWAY so he cannot hurt you again.
Ignore the people who say, "Well, we don't know what she did before he started wailing on her in that car." It doesn't matter if you did anything. No one ever, EVER has the right to beat someone black and blue and bloody, no matter what twisted justification may exist in his or her mind.
You are lucky - you have a few things at your disposal that so many domestic violence victims don't have. You are a celebrity -- so when it happened to you, it happened in public. By not taking him back, you can publicly draw your line in the sand and say, "No. This is never acceptable." You have the means, and I mean the money, to publicly protect yourself, and to escape your abuser. How many women don't, and end up stalked, terrorized, and dead at the hands of their abusers?
Abuse escalates.
Get out. Get out now. Otherwise I fear we will be reading about how Chris Brown murdered you over some transgression you committed only in his mind.

i agree completely. i always thought that this happened to 'other' women, until it happened to me 20 years ago last month.
the deletion was mine. what i attempted to type was that i linked to this post, after reading about a serial abuser in the s.f. chronicle and posting link to that article. hope that's o.k. by you. all of it quite timely.
Annie -- sure thing, no prob! Can you send me the link to the SF Chron article? Have you ever read "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin DeBecker?
Thanks! I am now looking into the book you mention above.
I am still incensed about that guy in the SF Chronicle article. NINE restraining orders.
Restraining orders are such a joke!
