Dear littlemisshoney:

You mentioned his childhood, a “traumatic upbringing,” that he was physically abused by his mother. How did it affect who he is today, do you think? How did his counseling help him…?

And, on that note, do you think that your own childhood, your own upbringing, has a role in your relationship situation with this man?

I will be back at the computer in about 10 hours and would like to re-read your original post and any additional one, if you choose to add to your post.

Good night:
