Question by lil3: I need help. i have a psychological disorder called codependency.?
i asked a previous yahoo question and one of the answers made me realize that i have this psychological issue called codependency. i’m really scared. what do i do now? i went online to look and i’ve pretty much checked all the symptoms related to this issue. do i go see a psychologist or a psychiatrist with this? can this be cured? i never realized how serious this is. i’ve never realized i’d have a psychological issue. i’m really scared. can someone, maybe an expert or someone who knows anything about this please give me some advice?
i have never been abused, neglected or any of that. i’m not a drug addict or alcoholic.

Really depends on why you feel you are codependent. Do you have a alcoholic or drug abusing parent perhaps? If so Al-Anon and Alateen meetings would be good for you.

Question by ?Ash?: Why is my husband doing this? It is making me want out even more. Long..pls help.?
So after 5 years together, and too many ‘bad’ times together I have finally told my husband I am considering separating for awhile because I don’t know what else to do at this point. I am by no means perfect but over the years he has faught so dirty, calling me names and throwing below-the-belt insults at me in his rage that I have had enough. He is also an abuser of alcohol. We’ve tried counseling twice, and both times he has been nicer for a little bit…but then the horrible things flying out of his mouth and the nit-picking resumed (as in, every day for the nitpicking). Anyhow- we are tight on money and have two small children. I have been sad we didn’t get a christmas tree, and today my parents dropped one off. I was so touched. I told my husband when they left.
Him: Oh you must have told them how much you wanted a tree.”
Me: Yes I did. That was so kind of them..I had to hold back tears.”
Him: Wow, well that makes me feel like s**+”
Me: “why do you have to make it about you?”
Him: “it’s not about me, I’m allowed to have feelings! It makes me feel like a sh~tty dad. Have a heart for your freakin husband for once!!! Why do you have to be all negative?!”
