Thanks, Suze. It's hard to admit it, but I know this is right. How the hell do you teach yourself new patterns, though? Honestly, although I know it sounds stupid, really being honest about what's going on (even if just to a message board), has made me come out of a bit of the denial stage, and I actually feel some real impulse to change it now that I didn't before.......but I don't know if I've ever been attracted to an actually healthy relationship. Is that something you can even learn?
