Hmmm... wow.

OK, alcoholism and codepency are new to me and I am learning all that I can as fast as I can but I get the stuff you are describing very very well.

Verbal attacks are especially insidious, bruises heal quickly but verbal attacks last a long time.

Kinda curious about your thoughts on my last post. One key question: does he have empathy for other people? In other words, once you have communicated that what he said hurt you, does he seem contrite and remorseful or contemptuous and scornful, i.e. - he is annoyed by your hurt feelings and attributes them to a defect in your character as opposed to a normal and appropriate response to being attacked?
