As long as you understand that life is about choices and with all choices there are consequences.



Living I totally get what you池e saying. However, God knows I wish that it wasn稚 a mid-life crisis. But I truly believe that痴 what it is. If that in deed is what he痴 going through, that certainly doesn稚 excuse ANY of his bad behavior. However what it does do is explain why he is acting totally out of character. I do believe that people suffering from mid-life crisis can help it. They just have to admit there is a problem and get help with that problem. So please know that I知 not using his mid-life crisis as a way of excusing his behavior or for allowing him to get away with treating me like crap. Again, most of the time mid-life crisis is a journey that only the person suffering from it can go through and work to come out of. Unfortunately they normally create a path of destruction and hurt people they love. After all, hurt people, hurt people.

You池e right in the sense that we all have choices. Right now my choice is to hop off the roller coaster ride he痴 on and take care of me.
