"Dry" Drunk?
Hello again,
I posted awhile ago when my counselor suggested that my husband's anger/temper tantrums were based in alcoholism. He DOES drink quite a bit-in fact excessively-- but somehow alcohol didn't seem to me to be the crux of our problems. I still couldn't put my finger on it.
Last week I read the book that is CHANGING MY LIFE. It is called "The Verbally Abusive Relationship: How to recognize it and how to respond" by Patricia Evans. I FINALLY understand my childhood w/ my mother, and the 20 years of crazymaking from my husband. I finally have the tools to get off the fence...to give him tools (need Evan's other books for that) to help him heal or to leave guilt free.
If you are yelled at, told you are "too sensitive," given completely irrelevant/hostile answers to reasonable questions (these are just a few examples of verbal abuse), then perhaps this book will change your life as it is mine.
Namaste,
Abajak
