with everything you say were it not for the depth to which life sank. You are correct in that I could not give him the help he needed. Some may even say I enabled his behavior by staying in the relationship, perhaps he would have gotten the the help had I not stayed.We will never know. But I do not examine the road not taken, it was not taken there is no point.
I do believe substance abuse is an illness, and some are victims themselves, then perpetrators. I believe too that non can help you until you help you. To live life as the perpetual victim does not mean you are allowed to create new victims. Once that road is taken you are no longer a victim, your past victimization is no excuse.

ty truly for taking the time to read and comment.

scapegoats keep the conversations for reaching a constant dialogue, which is what it will take to start to correct this dark chapter in society’s past and future.

Your ex was manipulative, but I suspect his need was genuine. He needed help that you couldn’t give hime alone. I see two victims here. You were both victims of his dependency.

Emotional abuse is just as real and physical. I have been in both places in my relationships and I applaud your bringing this to the front.
Women have been abused for many more years than video games have been around, but society always looks for a scapegoat to hide its ugly sides.
