-Caveat Lector- June, Got this from Dalton Roberts on Bessie in regard to abusive relationships. He also sent me a post concerning a man with whom she was not having a relationship but threw out of an after hours club in Chattanooga, physically and unaided. The man hid in the bushes and stabbed Bessie when she was leaving but she chased him of three blocks before she collapsed! Her relationships sound absolutely dysfunctional but at times Bessie could be the abuser as well as the abused.
