I don't see anything at all about what you are doing to find out what God says about you. I see you reading secular self-help books and that is fine and they certainly can and will give you some good useful tools to help yourself but you call yourself a believer and I am certain He does not ever say you are a weak, co-dependant, brow-beaten man. Nope. He said you are ABOVE and not BENEATH, the HEAD and not the TAIL.....and that's just for starters. I can go on and will because it's roundabout this point in posting to someone that I start to really tell it like it is. It helped me tremendously to know what God had to say about me and about my family. It caused me to stand up out of the pool of self-pity, shame and unforgiveness. You need to know because He means YOU and YOUR family too!
Seek and you shall find. You ready to start knockin' yet?
