b"If you break abuse down to the nitty-gritty, at its heart is something called \\u201cemotional childhood.\\u201d Abusers think everybody should make their life work. Everyone should cater to their whims. Everybody is responsible for their emotions. For fixing them, moment by moment. They shouldn\\u2019t have to do anything. Like a stunted emotional child. \\n\\nIf you\\u2019re a wife in this situation, you come to believe that you are supposed to fix your husband. You think you\\u2019re the only one who can (and that \\u201cfixing\\u201d him is even possible). \\n\\nAny movement to protect yourself, to detach, to assign responsibility to him for HIS OWN LIFE and CHOICES, feels like betrayal and selfishness and just plain gross. Your husband and many religious people would agree. \\n\\nWhich leads us right back to: Am I responsible for fixing my husband? Is detaching from him to protect myself wrong? \\n\\nI\\u2019ve been asked these questions hundreds\\u2014if not thousands\\u2014of times, so I\\u2019ve fleshed out an answer that addresses them AND all those icky rabbit trails in your mind. \\n\\nAnd unlike what you\\u2019ve been told in church, online, or by your husband, this answer doesn\\u2019t require you to throw yourself in a pool to save a person who wants to drown\\u2026and drag you under too. \\n\\nGet clear explanations like:\\n\\n- What detachment really is (and why it\\u2019s so good and necessary)\\n- 2 helpful lists highlighting how children think/express themselves (so helpful if you know you\\u2019re not living from your values but you\\u2019re not sure why)\\n- Signs you\\u2019re living in emotional childhood\\n- The difference between emotional adulthood and emotional childhood\\n- Why getting out of abuse doesn\\u2019t stop the thought/behavior patterns you\\u2019ve learned in destructive relationships (women can get free and still live chained lives if they don\\u2019t realize this)\\n- How to make decisions from peace and wisdom instead of denial and fear (doing this will lead to a level of satisfaction and success you\\u2019ve only dreamed of!)\\n- And more!\\n\\nListen or download the transcript at flyingfreenow.com/167\\n\\nFREE: I'll send you the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?
