I lived in that exact situation for years. I was married to a Sociopath. Marriage counseling doesn't fix this if they have a fragile ego that causes them to be offended when we talk about our needs. They will exploit you in marriage therapy. The problem is with them because they use exploitation to hurt us whenever we stand up for ourselves and that's where the pain and hurt comes into play. Boundaries only worked after I left because abusive people hate boundaries and they get their ego bruised when they are challenged about their faults or wrong doings including violence or emotional turmoil from their rage rants. I stayed 23 years trying to fix the problem that wasn't mine to fix.

Dr. Henry Cloud, you and the sudden decrease in traffic are the only 2 things I can thank Covid-19 for having on a daily basis. Do I have a story to tell you and a simple question for it all, butttttt I cant get through on the phone line and I don't know the schedule for calls on Est time zone. I am addicted to your show. I wish I had all the money I have spent over the years on therapists that taught me little to nothing. I have learned more from you in past 2 months than I have in the 20 years of a couple different therapists. I just haven't found the right one until now. Matter of fact, our therapist use to refer us to your books 17 years ago. I am reading a couple of your new books now. I will be lost without you everyday. I see Christ in and through your work. I pray that God blesses you in abundance for every person you have helped! Loving you always, Me

I am experiencing this currently in my marriage. Whenever I speak about my needs it becomes a shouting match and lack of understanding what I want to communicate. It's very painful.

So thankful how God has equipped you to help others, especially the body of Christ.
