[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old were you when you were sexually abused?

Did you have a father growing up?[/quote]

I was 12 when it started.

Yes I had/have a father (he was one of my abusers).[/quote]

How many abusers did you have?

Do you think you have "Daddy issues" which are a cause of your addiction?

Minus your addiction, would you characterize your relationship with your husband as healthy?
[/quote]

I had four abusers.

Yes I have major issues with my father.

Minus my addiction, I actually do think I have a healthy relationship with my husband.[/quote]

You say you feel you feel full of shame and disgust with yourself when he asks you to have sex, but you feel you shouldn't say no. That's another way of acting out your sexual abuse dynamic, even though technically you both are trying to have a normal married relationship. Until you get more therapy for these current feelings, how do you consider you're in recovery? You're right, you've succeeded in stopping acting out in the other ways, but the dynamic with your husband is not yet healthy, and the result is another form of acting out for you. [/quote]

I don't disagree with you. The dynamic between me and my husband is quite unhealthy. It has improved
Since my lowest point and I am hoping it continues to do so.[/quote]
