I have no idea if this is the right place to ask it, but I will anyway.
My OH has mental health issues brought on by his treatment by his mother through his childhood, is it possible for him to act the same as an alcoholic but without the alcohol?
It has been bugging me for ages, there is a website I go on that is for people with alcohol issues and also for family members.
the family members talk about controlling behaviours, things like who to talk to and what to say and also grinding down self esteem and making them worry about what other people have said.
These are all behaviours I have had to deal with and I have had to deal with self esteem issues in epic portions.
When my OH discovered that he could no longer bully me (cos we moved and I developed a bit of a backbone) he started on the kids.
Any thoughts would be helpful
Thanx
Alex
