Catherine's Obsession With Knives

Catherine's dad was an alcoholic who used violence and intimidation to rape her mom. Catherine claims that she was repeatedly sexually abused by members of her family until she was 11. In high school, Catherine was known as a bully and was said to experience uncontrollable rage in response to small things. One famous story from their marriage is that while pregnant, Catherine burns all of David's clothes and hits him across the back of the head with a frying pan.
