Mandy,
Maybe your husband just needs a break, so he can get his schitte together.
I didn't like what was said about all the negative things he says to you.
I consider such behaviour infantile at best.
Could he perhaps be feeling totally inadequate as he is unable to help you
heel,
or am I waaaay off the mark......???

Let him go if he insists to do so, so you can put the remaining pieces of
your life together. If he truly loves you, he'll come back.
So, if I sound calloused, I'll say no. Cutting one's losses is more like
it.
Or rather, diverting one's energies to save the salvageable.
And mend the mendable.
And lissen here, Mandy, no talk about self-destruction, y'hear...???
Save that energy for meaningfull purposes. We've all seen too many suicide
attempts (including our families here) and even some successful ones (ugh).

You can always reach me for copies of the TM list, as I've saved them all,
if and when you unsubscribe. (But them, there's the web page,
right...???).

I am, as well as all the others on this list, rootin' fer ya, and hoping
that common sense will prevail, and y'all can get on with your lives.
