Here is the latest episode... http://www.oprah.com/own-shaniatwain/Why-Not-with-Shania-Twain-From-This-Moment-On-FULL-EPISODE

I watched it...love her new musical style and creativity.  My thoughts are that she is stuck in anger denying her sadness and depression.  Plus projecting alot onto the OW which is understandable at some point she'll get to the pain with her H.  I'm so interested in her journey and I'm assuming it's a series.  Her emotions are very centered around the betrayl from her friend.  I"M SO GLAD SHE'S bringing it to light...THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IMO...so people don't feel alone in something that, as we all know, many people go through in some form or another.  Anyway I would recommmend watching..They played it on the OWN network where I live.

Yes, I've been watching too. She has a lot of traits that sound familiar. Having to grow up too fast,
being a child in charge of a family, stuffing down her feelings......

I saw part of it last night, but had to stop. I agree with Buggy that she is nowhere NEAR acceptance of what has happened.... she obviously STILL LOVES HER HUSBAND and it makes me uncomfortable because he married OW, and she is engaged to or married OW's husband. I wanted to jump through the tv and tell her "what are you doing with this guy? You still love your husband, and it's just weird that you are switching spouses.... something's not right here!" but public opinion is "Good for her!! How ironic that she found happiness with OW's husband!!"

I do agree that it is beneficial for people to see her pain, in real time, over the betrayal by her friend. Talk about suck! The friend would comfort her and tell here "everything's going to be ok..." Imagine finding out that your "friend" knew your greatest heartache, was part of the CAUSE of it, and then probably went and TALKED ABOUT IT with YOUR HUSBAND!!! I'd like to run over that OW with the Karma Bus myself!! >:(

My take is, she's still in love with her husband, and hasn't hit her anger stage... not even close.

I agree with all of you. She is going through the process that all of us are in. It will be interesting to see if we will see the whole process or if she remains stuck. She really does not want to deal. Her therapist asked her the right questions, but she won't go there.... Laughed it off. hmmm... surprised she didn't edit it out. I am appreciating the honesty.
BTW, they went into her FOO issues more in the first episode.

I'm pulling for her and hope she finds her voice again. :)

And yes she remarried already :o.

So, now Shania and OW's former husband are now united in demonizing OW/former wife.... that's their real connection. I give it two years, and then she will wake up and wonder what she's doing with him. They will have NOTHING in common, just like her husband and OW. Wish I had a crystal ball... I do think that her marrying OW husband could get her stuck... it's an avoidance, and that's why we say not to date when you're still going through this.

I have been watching this show on TNT now since it started and I don't know if anyone else here watches it but
it is really great to see the way men in midlife react.
So any discussion about this show or any other midlife show would be great. (Charlie Sheen comes to mind)

New Episode Last night:

Men of a Certain Age: Season 2, Episode 7
The Great Escape
Joe decides to spend some time with his former bookie Manfro (guest star Jon Manfrellotti), who is preparing to undergo a difficult medical treatment. Terry and Erin take a bold new step in their relationship. And Owen receives an intriguing offer from a rival dealership. Penelope Ann Miller also guest-stars.

And if you never watched this show you can see the back episodes on HULU.com
