HI Lou Lou
Im glad that you have gotten some clarity on the T's ideas and that you now know this is what is being said. So of the stuff sounded pretty crazy. It is also a sign that your husband is getting a little better because he let you speak to his T. I agree, just having a mother with Privacy issues does not a survivor make. A lot more must of happened. I blocked out certain experiences in my life that came to light when I started reading other peoples stories online.
Get your husband to join MS.org. But I must tell you to please do a bit of homework on the Co-Dependency issues in your life. PLEASE DONT NEGLECT YOURSELF, and dont think that you can handle it. Get help from CODA or AL ANON you need the support and the courage to draw up healthy boundries.
Heal well Martin

Hey Martin, Thanks for the response and the advice. I don't believe that i am a 'typical' Co dependent. I have done quite a bit of research. The only thing that can point to co dependency, is the fact that i have said i will leave my husband if things don't change. I have done NOTHING to support his bad habits. I have stated clearly, if you want to be on your own, let me go because these behaviours are not helping my self esteem. I don't want to come across as arrogant, but i feel like i am strong within myself. This shit has nothing to do with me. i run every day, i have a healthy diet. I do take care of myself... Do i need to leave him in order not to be Co dependent? I don't understand.

I 've gone on to the wiki checklist of co dependency symptoms. I answered, honestly, "no" to the majority of them. I am guilty of being in a relationship where my husband is doing things that are detrimental to our marriage, but seeing as though he can't even be in his own body yet, does that make me co dependent by believing that maybe he can seek help???
