Dear Open Eyes,

Thank you for posting this.
It was a tearful read indeed and I recognized my life partner & self.
I left. Moved out but the relationship remains. Over time and with therapy it is an unique relationship... 2 traumatic souls, yes it is getting better but there is always a chance that injured child can return and have a tantrum.
I cant fix him, nor can he save me...
There is no doubt we love one another. He has made huge improvements & I've learned to be non reactive when I recognize that injured child peaking out.
My advice for other people would be to leave this kind of relationship!
I have my own issues that I am working on and will be a work in progress forever.
Thanks, I hope your life is getting better, YOU DESERVE IT.
