Is this a mid-life crisis?

[Sophie]

Hi Beth...it's me Sophie.

I can honestly tell you that your original post in this thread is EXACTLY the same words my H said when he slipped into this...

Just wanted you to know that I can understand your sitch and that while I have a couple years on you...I understand some of the things your H is saying because I've heard the words and watched the actions of my own H.

Also...the insight from Techguy is awesome.

And...candles, and candle warmers are the best! The more I found things that heightened my senses...and became passions...like gardening, making things grow (flowers talk to you, you know:)...running, rearranging the furniture...special sheets that feel good....etc.

I wrote a poem about the things I like...I wanted my kids to know that mom liked things!! In just a few minutes, I had 15 or so lines of things I like.

I have talents that my H does not. And, now that I have free time...the kids aren't sucking the life out of me...I feel I'm getting my life back.

Maybe my H senses my 'freedom' from him...

That's a goal I want...to be 'free' of H in an indivual healthy way...and for H to know it.

I also want H to be 'free' to be who he is....if he'd ever find himself! DUH!!

Talk to ya later
