I am the one who... feeds on the high of love. Because I am afraid of losing this feeling, I imprison us both.
Core meaning: Addiction
I admit to a bit of obsession in my love for my husband - especially in the first 25 years. Part of that was due to the massive number of divorces in my family, and my desire to have a lasting marriage. Part of it was that I experienced increased anxiety levels and overall emotional discomfort when we were apart - not when we were working apart, but when we were apart outside of work. For example, I almost didn't go to seminary because I would have to spend 3 days a month away from him. It was a test of my willpower to make that first trek.
This card helped me understand the power of the addictive component of my relationship with him - which I have worked on in my Al-Anon group. I was surprised, however, to realize how my need for him trapped/confined him. That was a revelation that I credit to this card and my work with the images.
