Grant,

thanks for your encouragement. I was looking for clarification on one thing though, wondered if you might be able to help.

Been reading Patrick Carnes's 'Out of the Shadows', and in it he talks about one of the addict's core beliefs being 'No one would love me as I am' (ie if I told the truth about my secret life). If I detach from H, more than detach, I act in a way so as not to enable or condone his behaviour (really withdrawing my support for him), am I not reinforcing this erroneous core belief? He has revealed himself to me, and now I am rejecting him?

Any thoughts?

Or anyone else who has SA background/experience of SAs?
