Being abused

 I do not know why I continue to take the abuse from my patient and I have wondered if it is really worth the $500.00 a month that I am being paid. I can not take much more of this verbal abuse from her.

 All I want to know is do I have to continue to take the abuse. (Did I mention that my client is also my ex-wife). We separated in November of 07 becausr of mental issues and one of them was a drug addiction, the second was the codependancy that i was put through. This disease almost killed me by being involved in this type of relationship. If anybody knows about codependancy it is me. I have already had one group go to a national sponser about codependancy on a different site.

 I need help to know what to do. Any suggestions? Quitting is not an option
