Then, there was this side.

After hurting his back, Tom mired himself in a world of pain meds and booze. He wanted to go out drinking constantly when he was home, but Michelle was rarely up for it. After twisting her arm, Tom would fly into a fit of rage upon learning that she was drinking tonic water, not alcohol.

During drives home, Dynamite would also swerve into oncoming traffic and pretend he was going to crash. That must have been horrific for Michelle, but she loved Tom and wanted to help him snap out of his depressed funk. That's when she revealed another little tidbit that's simply awful.

Dynamite made her sleep in a closet.

It's true. Michelle slept in a glorified wardrobe, but she preferred that because it meant she'd be away from him when he got mad. That's really, really depressing. Michelle, sadly, wasn't the only one affected by Dynamite's mood swings.
