Same here MC. My W is beautiful and knows how to use that to get what she wants. Her mother did the same. At some point the beauty is seen for what it is worth and she will regret the choices she has made (just like her mother has said to me). I just wish we didn't have to suffer the pain.
I like to watch "Dr. Drew celebrity rehab" and the last episode showed the kids of an alcoholic and how they reverse roles with their parents. That definitely happened to me. I became the mature adult at a very young age. I lost my childhood in a lot of ways and sometimes don't know how to loosen up and have fun in life. When my W fell in love with me, I was probably the most "child-like" that I have ever been. I didn't have a care in the world... dad was my bankroll, grades were good, just hanging out playing college basketball, PS2, and having a good time with my future-wife.
After talking with my new IC... we were talking about the adult-adult, adult-child, and child-child interactions we have with our spouses. The majority of our marriage was adult-child and eventually that took its toll.
