Toxic Dependency

As a therapist you see many bizarre cases in your lifetime weather its the drug addict or the schizophrenic. A client came in to talk about her abusive husband. The best way to describe them is one was a poisonous bear, the other a tic. She couldn't let go of him and kept sucking down the bloody abuse. When asked about leaving him she responded she has no choice he pays for her medical treatments. It was a week after she came to my office I saw the news headline " 19 year old cancer patient poisoned by her husband."
