Funny, when I was seeing my C, the first thing we faced were my past issues. I don't have too many past issues, but it really helped me and my C establish a foundation to work through my more recent problems. I am fortunate in that I grew up in a healthy household with both parents.
The real damage occured about 4 years into my marriage. It became a nightmare of me neglecting myself to help my XW through her very serious problems.
