Gr8ful, just started following this thread...I need to find your other! The things you share about your H sound so much like mine. I'm beginning to realize just to what extent he has manipulated and controlled me over the years. Where did my spine go?!? I dislike this situation, but am finding myself very surprisingly happy about being fully AWARE...for the first time in decades...wow.
I am so proud of you for your unwavering support of your daughter. Way to go, Mom!
