Annie is a 53-year-old Caucasian woman who presents for counseling due to problems in her past affecting her current marriage. Michael, age 53 and Annie met on the internet, dated a few months, then married. They have been married 10 years. This is Annie’s fourth marriage; Michael’s second marriage. They have no children together but each has children from previous marriages. There are three children, Jennifer, 32; Rick, 28; and Brenton, 21.
Annie’s father, Johnny, worked for the Federal government; her mother, Margaret, was a school teacher. As such, her maternal grandparents’ home was considered home, where Annie and her only sibling, Mark, spent most of their summers while their mother completed her college degree. Johnny is 76 and Margaret is 73. They are both retired. Johnny usually attends church alone. Margaret claims to be a Baptist Christian but is not demonstrative with her faith.
Her father was the nurturing parent. He played games with both children, spent time discussing books, nature, and helping with school projects. Annie’s mother was very conscious of social status and outward appearances presented in the community. Her mother was less than nurturing and insisted on perfection in the home’s appearance as well as both children’s academics, extracurricular activities, and behavior in general. When failure or shortcoming occurred, severe punishment was executed by Annie’s mother, in the form of corporal punishments and restrictions. Her mother was very authoritarian. Annie began searching for love by marrying quite young to escape her mother’s dominance. Her brother escaped through his music and even tried to run away several times.
