Yes. But there is a needy, dependent side to Stevie also, it's just that her tough personality is present enough that it overrules the neediness when need be. Carol Ann clearly had no backbone. That is also why I think Stevie was the one that was obviously hardest to 'get away from' (and not just because they happened to be in the same band )and 'get over', because of her strong personality. We all know Lindsey admitted that part of the reason he left in 1987 was because of the issues with Stevie and the closure he needed. I think that Stevie was, in many ways, a worthy adversary and that brought out both the best but also the worst in him. It kept him on his toes, whereas girls like Carol Ann were, in retrospect, pretty forgettable.

She said something along those lines. While I don't think their physical incidents were as sereve as CAH reports, there definitely seemed to be some form of physical abuse in their relationship as well. Whether it was Stevie hitting him first or Lindsey pushing her etc.

She said that they shouted horrible obscenities at each other and spewed words that they had been cropping up for years. Words that were so bad they were never able to come back from it. She said that was definitely the end of Stevie and Lindsey.

Thank you. Sometimes it's like talking to a brick wall.
