You might also consider getting Dobson's book. I told QS on his thread he should get it and I think you would benefit from it as well! The way it's written, it just makes you feel better and so much more empowered....
James Dobson: Love Must be Tough (Help for Families in Crisis)
If you can't find it at a regular bookstore, a Christian bookstore would probably have it.
When I'm feeling down about my sitch, it's the first thing I pull out.
