Hi NG-
I hope you and your kids are doing as well as can be. I hear what you are saying about MLCers not being able to deal with feelings...I sometimes forget because my H does acts fairly normal most of the time...sometimes I wonder if I am just making excuses for his behavior.

A question for those that have R'd...when is that?
Thanks for asking the question. I am definitely curious.

Yesterday was kind of interesting. My H sent me an email asking if I wanted to meet him for lunch. During lunch, my H asked me if I thought he was an angry person (there is a long story as to how the conversation started). Anyway, I told my H that I thought he could have some issues with anger and that I thought that he could be angry because his D grew up and went away to college. He thought about it and seemed to think there might be some validity to what I was saying. My H then suggested that since we had a C appointment scheduled for last night, that he should go and talk to the C individually. I told him that was fine...even though there was so much that I wanted to discuss with the C...oh well, next week. I am glad that my H finally went and talked to the C on his own...I hope he continues.

My H and I talked about me going with him this weekend. He said he thought I might feel awkward and how his D would stay with him but if I went, then she wouldn't. I knew he didn't really want me to go...so I told him to go and have fun.
