Gilda,
I highly doubt you are co-dependent. (This really applies to an addictive behavior. Is Sissy trying to imply you are addicted to Gracie, or what? I don't get it.) At most, you are physically fearful, and rely on Gracie as a shield against a world you find threatening. This makes me sad.
I find it interesting that most if not all of the peeps telling you to escalate the sit. most likely have never been in a violent confrontation, let alone gotten beaten for thier efforts. I understand your decision to flee.
I have never been able to understand the conflict avoidant personality, however. This is a discussion i must have with my FriendGirl, and maybe after some insight, i can give more productive support.
Also: love for you, and hate for him.
