At first it started small, with Theo using marathon training and working out as a subtle way of controlling how Todd looks and where he goes. <\/p>\n<p>But Theo\u2019s abuse took a shocking turn in mid-November when in a jealous rage, he smashed Todd\u2019s face into a mirror. <\/p>\n<p>Even though Todd needed stitches in A &amp; E, Theo still managed to bully him into submission.
