    • Close Codependency

      I was born and raised in a very religious conservative christian home. My parents have been married for 45 yrs but never happy. My Mom is a passive agressive manipulator and my Dad is an aggressive neglector. My first marriage was to a horrible borderline personality disorder women that still tries to control me through my children. My current marriage is to a good women but marriage struggles due to our codependant relationship. I want so badly to be loved and accepted for who I am

      Treatments

      Reading Considering
      I am reading Breaking Free of the Co-dependency Trap. This has opened my eyes on what has been happening.
      Talking Too Soon to Tell
      I have very few people that I can talk freely to about my situation. My family is to judgemental and I don't really have any close friends I can trust
    • Close Personality Disorders
      Type: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

      I was married to a borderline for almost 7 years. It took me that long to figure out what was going on, that I wasn't crazy, and that I deserved to be happy and not controlled. I have been divorce going on 4 years and she still controls through my children, legal action and financial burdens. I just want to get away!

      Treatments

      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Its good to vent but its like a plague with no cure.
    • Open Life After Divorce

      I got married way to quick and too young. My ex ended up suffering from borderline personality disorder but refused to do anything about it. I didn't want to be married to her or stay married but religious beliefs and children kept me in it for 7 year. I have been divorced for 4 years and remarried again but my past ex still haunts me.

    • Open Child Support & Custody

      I have two children with my ex two little girls under the age of 9. My ex is controlling and manipulative. She doesn't allow the girls to call me and I had to step up exchanges through a state facility because all the problems she caused. No one believes me because she put on such a victim act and I am the man. I think I will just look forward to building a relationship with my daughters when they are older.

    • Open Healthy Sex

      This support group I think is an enigma. My first marriage was my first sexual encounter and it was wierd, controlling and manipulative. My ex used sex as a total weapon to get me to do things for her. I feel like I have a good sex life with my wife now but many times if feels off. I want it she doesn't or vice versa. I try to talk to her about it but it ends up in a wierd unresolved end. Just trying to figure this out.

      Treatments

      Patience Not Working
      going on 4 years still a lot of disconnects.
    • Open Step Families

      I am remarried and live with my wife and her 3 children. Her children are older then mine two in thier teens. It is hard being a full time step-parent. My wife expects me to love them and treat them as my own but they aren't and at the same time she refuses to be involved with my kids. She if very judgemental of my children because my ex is so hard to deal with. Parenting has been weird and I end up just pushing everthing to her because if I participate she just get mad. Looking for any tip help

    • Open Time Management

      I like to think I am a get it done kind of guy but looking honestly I am a put out the fires good kind of guy. I struggle being proactive but I get by with being really good at crisis management. I also struggle staying on task once I am there.
