This program is a great program. It is an outlet for an addictive problem, that goes beyond a 12-Step Program. Number one benefit – Education. The education about this addiction was a godsend. Then the process of walking us through all those recovery steps with homework, was very good. Makes you think and recognize what this addiction has done to your life.
Anger of a grown child who has been a surrogate partner in his childhood
Anger of a grown child who has been a surrogate partner in his childhood
So, is there a lot of anger with these men who are enmeshed with their mothers? The short answer is – yes. Usually these men, because their mothers have demanded, either explicitly or implicitly that “you be there for me”, and “you tune in to me”, they become very nice guys. They become wonderful caretakers. They’re very nice, sweet in their exterior role. But they lack a hard edge to them. They have hard times making decisions. They might have difficulty with sexual performance. This is all related to this experience of feeling dis-empowered by relationship to their mother.

This has been the most formative experience in my recovery. It has broken through my denial and into more of who I am. It was integrated directly with my individual therapy.
