Mike, you may have had the good luck to jump on this site, and read those books, in a timely fashion. I think the OM caution from GH is a good one, so prepare yourself to find out it ain't over til it's over. One HUGE piece of advice: DO NOT BACKSLIDE on using the DR principals. If I'd have read these books two months before I did, there'd be no Deezee on this forum! Also, be cautious of any therapy that has you reliving every old argument you never settled. Just work on today, tomorrow, and the future, and work on YOU - working on her is transparent to her. Again, be strong and DON"T BACKSLIDE! Good luck - we're in this together. If you read my stuff, you'll find I was depressed as well, and too dumb to know it!!!!
