[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 650092, member: 17542"] Hi Shan, and I'm glad you're here. I am so sorry for what you are going through. I know at one point I had to change therapists, and depending on what is going on in your household (diagnoses with the other people), I had to find a therapist that specialized. For years, my ex-husband and I, and then myself alone, went to a therapist, who---at the end of it all---said, well, I really don't know much about addiction. I was crushed. So that is one thing you can consider. Also, when you are living in a place where everybody points at you as the "crazy one", it is crazy-making after a while. Can you get away for a few days? I don't know how old your boys are or what is going on with them. I do remember reading some of your posts, but can you please, when you get a chance, write a signature and post it to your account? There is a thread at the top of the PE forum that tells you how to do it. Another thought is to call the national domestic violence hotline and get their input. Their number is: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). Verbal abuse is abuse. Being degraded is abuse. Please call them and see what they recommend. If you have an alcoholic or drug addict in your life, a great place for finding peace and sanity is Al-Anon. There are free meetings in every town and city. See what is available where you life, and go as soon as you can. Keep going, because you will find friends, support and a way forward through this program if you stay with it. Shan, we are here for you. Please keep posting, and give us more background when you can. Warm, gentle hugs for you today. [/QUOTE]
