Description

Caller Anne Question: "I’m desperate for some support or advice. I feel so alone. I’m losing myself to insanity and I am not sure if I’m at fault for not having more self control or if maybe what I’m feeling and how I’m reacting to this pain is normal?

My husband says I am crazy & that my boundaries for him are impossible to meet, but then he agrees that he DOES meet my boundaries. I don’t understand him or maybe I don’t understand myself.

Please help me to see the picture from the outside looking in, because I can’t see clearly anymore. My pain seems to override all logic at this point."
