No advice, just hello and welcome.
Thank you for the welcome. I'll let you know how to tackle that as soon as I figure it out lol. Honestly it's been very difficult for me, especially given my own background I think. He's not an extreme case, and he's aware of it and wants to fix it, so that helps. He had his own screwed up childhood and has never come close to dealing with any of the feelings stemming from it until now. I've been very close to walking, especially recently, but he IS working on it in therapy and there has been progress so I'm not ready to walk just yet. Plus I think initially it probably worked for me in some way that I haven't uncovered in my own therapy yet.
