Had lunch this week with my old college roommate and we have been pretty close; college, roommates for awhile, we even worked together for a bit. We don't see each other that often but I'm sure we will be in the future.
He was telling me his woes; He is 54, W is 48, two kids; S 13, and D 11. Both adopted and special needs; Aspergers in S and Attention Deficit in D. W doesn't treat the D very well and favors S. She won't talk to my buddy, doesn't even acknowledge his presence even when he is talking to her in the same room. The only time she talks AT him, is when there is some sort of kids issue, then she just yells at him. They haven't had sex for two years. He is a mess. Glad I got to talk with him, we shared stories and situations, it helped me and he is not alone anymore. WTF. I don't know if its MLC, I pointed him at the site and some other info I collected along my path. He's a good man, I feel for him.
I don't mind telling that I had some good cries and good talks with friends over the last few days which has helped quite a bit. I'd like to thank everyone for being there for me.
