still a confused mess

[HalfMissing]

My brother is an idiot and likes to instigate. For some reason, he is the only man I've ever been able to really tell off.

I did read the book this afternoon. It talked about how women can sabotage themselves out of happiness in life, but didn't really address what I see as my main issues. After reading it, I came to the decision that I was emotionally in pretty good shape before my H went wacko.

H called a little while ago to tell me all about his day at work. The company he works for got bought out and he was one of only three employees offered a job with the new company. He then chit-chatted about movies he had seen and other trivialities. He made some strange comments about going to see the new cars at the Saturn dealer for fun. He then said that since our cars are getting older we might want to consider getting one of the new hybrids next time. What??? Haven't you left me - why would we get a car together in the future? How can they be so functional sometimes but then in la-la land other times? As D10 says, "Daddy Cuckoo Head" (making a swirling motion with her finger pointed towards her head). They don't seem to get that if you leave your spouse you are ending your married life with them.

This counselor is paid for under my HMO so I will give her a chance. I wish she knew something about MLC though and not just depression.

Grace_0, I wouldn't have been so snoopy if I wasn't concerned for the safety of my kids. This woman could have been delusional or really a druggie or something. I have no plans to investigate her further.
