Yes I read both books and I am in the process of reading all I can on this site. So many of the things I have read my H is doing them word for word! Almost like he has a copy of his own and is following it like an actor would use a script. Has anyone ever had an issue of their older child affecting the R? Our D hates him right now which I understand but I am upset by the way she talks about him and thinks I am " an idiot" for wanting to try and fix things with my H. It is soooo very frustrating and I am upset that she is making me feel like I have to choose between she and H. And he feels intimidated by her actions and how she is treating him. Like it's not hard enough anyway given the situation but I feel like she is making it worse. The I feel like a bad mom even feeling that way about my own child. Does any of this make sense at all?? I feel like I am rambling but truly no one close to me has any thing to say except I can' t believe this is happening to you?? Really, neither can I.... I just feel like I want to wake up from this awful dream that is now my life. I know that H is struggling with lots of things but is it bad that I want to knock him upside his head but still completely love him and just want him to get through MLC?? Thanks for listening. It helps to know that I am not alone but feel so bad because we all have to be here. Have a peaceful night all.
