That's indeed very very sad: Other people know that Angel hits Buffy but they do nothing? That's almost as if they are hitting Buffy too (figuratively speaking).
Good for Buffy that she isn't drinking too because it wouldn't help her.
Dru is only 8 years older than Buffy? I wonder how good she knows Angel. *nods* I'm sure there is more after how Dru acted. (And now I know for sure that I've read the start before *g*)
