Thank you, Three Roses.

I'm happy to join this community.  I have working my way slowly through Pete Walker's book (Complex PTSD:  Surviving to Thriving) but that seems focused on the emotional trauma suffered in childhood; not ongoing emotional abuse / trauma from an adult relationship. 

Is it possible to recover one's true self and heal my old wounds at the same time my wife is resisting my growth and actively abusing me emotionally?  Has anyone ever had success with this?

I'm looking for guidance / resources / websites that address the emotional trauma that results from an emotionally abusive long-term relationship.  I believe I have C-PTSD that was originally established as a result of being raised by emotionally neglectful parents.  But I'm in a now in a long-term marriage (25+ years) in which my wife has replace my parents as a source of emotional trauma.
