I call it “The death of a thousand cuts”

“Minor” hurts every week that add up to a slow bleeding out of your soul. “He passed out on the couch again. Gross! The kids are going to see that. Why doesn’t he care?” Or, “There she is, I wonder what kind of drama I’m in for tonight.” “I wonder if he’ll choke on the vomit tonight.” “I wonder what he’ll be angry about today.” “Why doesn’t she love me? Or herself?” Years of this drama and uncertainty can really hurt in the long run and really change who YOU are! Sometimes you are so busy hanging on to your relationship that you don’t realize that you have changed deeply.
