MMF - I had a stack of Dr. Dobson's books in my nightstand drawer that my mom had read when I was a kid and I had read them trying to figure out how to handle my "Strong Willed Child" before I knew he was autistic. After H left I started cleaning that drawer out and found the books. One of the books I realized I hadn't read because I thought based on the title that it was more about teenagers than smaller children. The book was "Love Must Be Tough". Imagine my surprise when I realized what the book was about!!!!!! Yet another slap up the side of my head from God telling me to STAND without losing my dignity.

I asked my mom why she had that book and she said that my dad had bought every book Dobson ever wrote. She didn't know what the subject of that book was either. I could have knocked her over with a feather when I told her what it was. AMAZING!

God does work in mysterious ways! My parents never had a day of marital trouble but for some reason my dad felt compelled to buy that book and then my mom kept it not even knowing what it was and made sure to give it to me and I find it right when I need it!

I follows the example in the book of the letter and wrote one to my husband a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if he even read it but it made me feel better to write it.
