Greg and Susan-
Thank you for answering, I was so rattled...the only reason I can think of my husband acting the way he did is because he thinks I pick and torment him until he shows some emotion. He thinks it's some kind of competition or game, when all I want is for him to show some kind of emotion about ANYTHING besides the frigging Red Sox. If HE had come home after lunch with his Dad, shaking and crying, I would have bolted out of my seat, led him to a chair, got him something to drink, rubbed his shoulders and listened to him for as long as he wanted to talk.
When I walked into the door crying and shaking, my husband stubbed out his cigarette and said,
"WHAT NOW?!"I don't know, boy. I can't remember the exact quote, but it was something like, "We would rather put up with the evils we know of, rather than fly into the face of those we know not."
I am a professional woman, 40, educated, decent income, nice house. I do not really want to move to the Louisiana swamps but I am seriously thinking of driving to Florida and working as a hotel maid somewhere on the Gulf Coast until my mind returns to me. -Gracie
