Something I have learned is that my spouse having an MLC and deciding to call it quits has similar characteristics with the economic conditions we are currently facing. Both make no sense, it hurts like he$l, and it isn't something I want. But most of all, that I have no control over it. I can change my behavior and how I deal with things but I do not control the overall economic conditions.

All I can do is change the things about myself that needs changing. I could also allow myself to get upset and react to changes that aren't positive or I could look for a way to improve my situation.

It won't be easy. It is challenging if you are talking about a source of income being cut off or being upside down in a mortgage but what other options are there.

And I keep thinking about what is the best thing I can do for my family.

I guess dealing with a WAW was further training for dealing with other crises.
