I also had asked because in my own history, it really wasn't until my mom had tossed out a label to me, when I began to understand why the things in my marriage continued to cycle year after year, month after month like they did and I was able to seek help.
You have a point there...

I see... It is true that someone can understand what they are going through when they are able to identify the situation they're in. A label would have helped me open my eyes sooner back then, for sure.
I'm glad you were able to seek help.
Thanks for this!
