[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 622907, member: 13542"] Peg, I think that as we get better at setting boundaries around our difficult child's behaviors, we begin to see where other relationships would benefit from boundary setting as well. It appears that may have happened in your relationship with your husband. Unfortunately, his tactics are controlling and punitive which doesn't allow for others responses, so he is sabotaging your attempts at any healing. You deserve the right to have your own opinions, feelings and choices and you deserve to be heard and acknowledged for those opinions, feelings and choices. Your husband ignored your feelings and stated in essence 'it's his way or the highway.' That is not any kind of healthy ground for intimacy. And, in my opinion, it is NEVER okay for [U]anyone [/U]to call you names, [U]anyone,[/U] especially your husband who should be cherishing you, not diminishing you. [/QUOTE]
