I just finished reading a novel called Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman:
http://www.amazon.com/Revenge-Middle-Aged-Woman-Elizabeth-Buchan/dp/0142003727

Although fiction, it was a very realistic depiction of a husband going through a MLC, and the fallout it has on his wife and family.  It is written from the point of view of the wife, and it is interesting to see her thought processes and actions throughout.

Ziggee,
I'll have to go and catch up your thread...sorry I haven't done that yet.  Between my recent vacation, a raging head cold and a few other things, I've only caught up with folks on this forum here and there...

At any rate, it is hard to live without those hugs.  One day at a time my friend....you will be just fine in the long haul.

Bon

Oh I get so lost in these threads... How is the head cold? I have no doubt I will be fine in the long haul... in fact... I am 100% confident the kids will be fine too... they are all strong... we are all strong... we had a good influence for a long time who made us all that way... it is her I worry about the most.   Hrmmmm that and welll if this goes on really long... I really dont look forward to dealing with daughter issues... :/

I am reading a lovely little book right now called Soul Gardening.  Thoughts on spirituality, life and gardens that put me in the mood to go outside and dig around in the dirt.  :)

Digging in the Dirt


Quote from: Peter Gabriel

Something in me, dark and sticky
All the time it's getting strong
No way of dealing with this feeling
Can't go on like this too long

...


I'm digging in the dirt
Stay with me I need support
I'm digging in the dirt
To find the places I got hurt
To open up the places I got hurt

Digging in the dirt
To find the places we got hurt

Z.

I'm reading this
http://www.amazon.com/Nonviolent-Communication-Language-Marshall-Rosenberg/dp/1892005034

for many reasons but mainly because communication with my h is poor and I want to grow, so I am determined to learn new ways of communicating so as to pave the way.

It may not make any difference to my h but if I learn this way of communicating It will make a difference to ME and that is all I can do x
