Hey.
I'm almost through with the book. It's interesting, but I wonder if it puts too much emphasis on what's wrong. I guess her theory is that by releasing the hurt one can finally manifest one's desires. I can see that. I would also do it w/out a partner--writing the items, that is. I made myself laugh :-)

My H bought the Save your M w/out talking about it. He thought it wasn't good. We'll see what you think.

Your Qs:
6. Do you mean that your Dad is not speaking to your W? I would talk to him about it, but not too much. Being a parent who sees his child go through something like what you're going through must be painful. I stopped telling my mom a lot of stuff, bc it was straining our R.
7. Do you have a personal (not joint) account? I would deposit the checks there, and keep records of the amounts just in case. If you don't have a personal account, I recommend opening one, as well as having your own credit cards (which I'm pretty sure you have.)

So, why is she having a "night out?" Does she still consider you two are doing an in-house separation? Do you have your own night out?
