My spouse is an addict, and his mindset, and way of thinking is so bizarre, and half of the time it feels like it is the addiction talking, and not my spouse. How I am I supposed to try to gain perspective of a thought process that is so far out there that no one else but another addict can understand? I don't think that the "addict's mind" is a creation of God, and I am having a hard time working with narcissistic/addict side that sees only themselves.Sections: Recovery LibraryRick's Q & A timeRick's QuestionsRL_Category: For The Hurt SpouseHandling DiscoveryQ&A Recovery LibraryRecovery FundamentalsSexual AddictionSpiritual InsightsThe Role of EmpathyRL_Media Type: Video
