Hi Pookie69,

Thanks for the response.

Sorry you are here after 13 years M.

Can you flesh out what you meant "I have to say that it's( being engineer), a part of my own problems"??? What part of being an engineer and having an engineers mindset create conflict in your M? Don't mean to pry, so if you'd rather not answer, it's A-okay.

My father is a retired engineer-I have really started noticing how my mother relates to my dad's often controlling, bossy, analytical, logical mindset. She doesn't sweat the small stuff. Too bad I wouldn't have noticed this years ago. I do now though.

You mentioned W drinking.That is another layer on a troubled M.

I hope things get better for you.

Take care
