Thanks Catty for posting the other link

I found out about this from my shrink that I see. I've been having so many issues with my husband and just started to see a new lady in the beginning of Feb. and about 2 sessions ago she brought me an information packet just 2 page (pm me and I can send you the PDF, it's on my work computer but I can send it to you on Monday)

Anyway when I read the 2 pages she gave me it made me cry so bad. I felt that I had every single one.

I read a little more online about this and I did find the website that Catty posted.

here was another article I went to and I took the quiz yesterday. I scored 90% 18 out of 20 questions were and yes and they said I did seem like I was affected by his drinking. It's always been hard to talk about because he would hit my sister and brother but I learned to keep my mouth shut so I wouldn't have to get hit but I feel terribly guilty now for not being able to stop him and protect my brother and sister, yet I'm the youngest and I'm trying to realize that I was just a child and that I couldn't of done anything to prevent that but still it does hurt some.

Anyway here are the other 2 articles.
