The Wounded Spirit?

[bravagal]

After over a year and a half I have finally ordered that book.

My H fits the category to a T.
His mom was depressed and verbally abusive. When I met him he always said "My pareents did the best they could. I have put that behind me"
Now he says "I always felt taken care of" ...

(same shtick different lingo)

I DO NOT believe it for a second! From what is has told me there is no way he felt cared for or loved or that anyone took interest in him.

I guess my point is perhaps this is what also makes someone more prone to a MLC...
not just the crappy childhood but a core aspect of denial Throughout adulthood) about how crappy it truly was and that maybe their parents did the best they could BUT he/she (the MLCer) DESERVED BETTER!

I really do feel for my H. HE DID deserve so much better.
