Has anyone else been through this?

In my experience, so long as my ex believed that I was the SICK one - not her, there was NO way that she would have ever considered therapy - she was OK, in her mind! I never tried to "deal with" her until after I began to realize that she also had deep issues. My programs convinced me that nobody goes for therapy until they WANT TO! So, I just worked on my self, defended my self from her and finally LEFT HER!
