Alisia Young interviews JAC Patrissi, the co-author of Should I Stay or Should I Go?: A Guide to Knowing if Your Relationship Can--and Should--be Saved (see bio below).

JAC Patrissi helps us begin to understand the distinctions among 
*conflict in a basically safe relationship cycle;
*destructive relationships that do not intend to harm but still do damage;
*chronic immaturity, and 
*relationships where a partner relies on abusive values of superiority.
