Fearless- Thanks for the reply on your own thinking about XH. Him wanting you to lead and then being pissed at your leadership sounds like he had a bunch of stuff to work on. I'm just curious if you think that it was " all his fault " not in a victimhood way just what if anything you may have brought to the relationship dynamic.
As far as LFL it just struck me as odd that that was a reason that she picked out not to read the book, it rang of a fear of disapproval from her husband to me when I read it and I would love to be wrong about it.
*edit- and it appears that I am!
I personally think Dr.Laura is a complete nut bar and more of an entertainer than a healer. I would just ask anyone to look and see what kind of Dr. she is before they take her advice too seriously.
