Yeah....not to go all triggery myself, but abusers are usually REALLY GOOD at putting up fronts for people who might otherwise investigate. Because they know what they're doing is wrong! Do criminals walk into your house and take your TV set and say "Seeya"? No, they break in when people are asleep. (Terrible analogy, but JESUS.)
Also, I understand "But X is nice and good to me so he must be nice and good to everyone" is a human fallacy, but boy, am I tired of it ("X is such a good friend offline, I can't believe he's really stalking someone online") and that's another thing abusers do, cultivate people in positions of power/influence. Bah.
