Our listener this week struggles to understand the dynamics of their relationship.Denied children because she wasn't a good enough stepmother, and called 'sexless' for not making more effort with intimacy.

As she hides part of herself to keep the peace she asks us: Are her expectations too high? Is she being emotionally abused? And will she be responsible if she leaves and he hurts himself?

As ever, psychotherapists Helen Villiers & Katie McKenna explain what's happening and how to move forward.
