Thank you, Thornton. I really don't know how to tell if that is what it is. Can you give me some examples? How do these typically act?

Mine calls herself a "pleaser." In other words, making sure that everyone else is happy, often at the expense of her feelings. She is great at putting on the happy face while keeping everything inside. She would rather go through hell than even consider hurting other people's feelings - which is why she gets walked on by everyone.

However, she is a great woman and the love of my life. I never knew the extent of her problems until recently. She did a great job at hiding them from me. But that still doesn't change the way I feel about her. I just don't know what to do. It just seems like she wants to run so bad, but there are flashes of our old self that make me think other wise.

Please let me know.


There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
