Eauchiche, Thanks for the reply. I'm reading Codependent No More, by Melady Beattie. Prior to the 90s there really was not much on CDs. She broke new ground, and the book is amazingly on point. Good luck with your situation... a day at a time.
To the others, thanks for the input. Some are claiming that I'm painting with a broad brush. Note that this was my experience with an AH spouse.
Peace
