Ali, With all due respect to all those who believe in therapy and astrology, I think I would rather believe Priya than a therapist. I believe we can have feelings of guilt, we can be affected by our childhood in many ways. However, I have difficulty making the connection with feelings of guilt about a parent to actually leaving your spouse. I am guilt ridden so now I will compound my guilt by leaving my spouse and family? Why is it that we always blame our past (usually our relationship with our parents) for our character flaws? When was the last time you heard anyone give credit to their parents for the person they are and take the blame for their own shortcomings? I have a tendancy to be black and white (some call that cynical) and honestly I do not buy into any of the behaviourial shortcomings of a WAS and their direct relationship to life events. If that were true, we would all be an event away from leaving..... Having said that, good for you on the middle of the night horizontal tango....now that is my kind of therapy...oink oink!
