You never had an actually healthy adult partner, instead you have basically been the only parent and your husband is just your third child. Your husband still doesn’t want to grow up. Instead your husband wants to smoke pot and get high and live in an illusion.
I can see that they’ve had similar experiences. Nothing done on purpose since I love my children most and want the best for them. They’re great people, and suffer with anxiety and depression. Perhaps they couldn’t have escaped that due to genetics. My children are very intelligent, talented, and thoughtful and I want them to develop fulfilling lives that they enjoy.
