Are you struggling to understand and cope with the sadness, shame, and trauma of the sexual acting out of a loved one?
Do you or someone you love experience the following?
- Tolerance of behaviors in a relationship that others would not tolerate
- Self sacrifice with the unexpressed expectation that it would create loyalty and appreciation
- Doing things for others that you should be doing for yourself while mired in self-neglect
- Becoming someone you don't like- such as a nag, a "parent" to the addicted spouse, blamer or rager
- Setting rules, agreements, contracts, or boundaries but not abiding by them
- Rescuing others compulsively
- Believing tall tales- giving the addict the benefit of the doubt when it's not warranted
- Being disabled/destabilized by the addict's crazy-making behavior
- A firm belief that if the addict could be convinced to do "X" everything would be better
- Attempts to keep the peace in the relationship at all costs
- A high degree of intensity, drama, and chaos
- Excessive concern with the opinions of others- attempts to keep up the appearance that all is well
