Very sorry to hear your M is ending in D. I can't imagine the hurt and pain people here have gone thru.
Yes that was my initial thought about counseling..... could be good, could be VERY bad. Truthfully, I will be surprised if she does it. Her mind is all over the place. If it does happen, it will be a major concern to me.
I've got all Michele Weiner-Davis's books on the way. I had bought a program from another well known person about MLC, and that was an amazing primer but left me with lots of questions and confusion. Com'on books..... I'm waiting on you!!!
LH, She occasionally travels with coworkers but generally no. What could be considered her best friends.... one used to work with her, the other works with her..... both female, both divorced.
I know (or at least I think I know) what set off the MLC....... My W and I have been very driven to succeed. We are both workaholics and we've both gotten to the top of where we can currently go. She is an executive at the company she works for, and I'm a director at the place I work for. She has shattered the glass ceiling more than a few times...... she just ran into another one several months ago and it doesn't look like she's getting thru this one. This would be the 1st time she's never overcome a barrier like that. It hit her really hard..... I'm understanding now how hard. It seemed overdone at the time [man-brain].
