I've become 'semi-comfortably numb'

[Dr.mom]

I'm right there with you. You posted some really good stuff.

With counseling, I am able to look back. H's behavior patterns were always there. I just chose to overlook them. He never changed. Should not have married THAT. But hey, we are all young, and at least in my case, I thought, "Well, he'll grow up, he'll learn about relationships".

I went through the same thing. Tried everything I could, to be perfect, to make a wonderful life as a wonderful wife. Lost myself in the process. Still working with the self-esteem issues. That one is gonna take a while . . . . .

Should have set those boundaries a long time ago too.

No longer Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" but trying on
"Shine on You Crazy Diamond" now . . . .
