How do you get your S to read something that might be useful. I found several articles on Michele Weiner-Davis' website that hit the nail on the head as far as our relationship goes. Of course, her theory is do anything to avoid divorce. One especially powerful article was about impact of D on kids.<P>It would be good for my S to read this-might open the eyes a little, but i fear handing to her would be major LB, perceived as controlling and manipulative. I could have someone else do it, but not sure that would work.<P>Any ideas?

ANB3,<P>I can only say that in my situation - my W considers all marriage books, advice etc. to be worse than worthless. She says she doesn't want to be married to a "program". She gets mad when she sees all the books I've got. <P>So, I don't know how except to ask. And if she declines, accept gracefully.<P>-AD

Educating your spouse is a love buster under disrespectful judgements.<P>You can't "get" your spouse to do anything. You can control what you do and nothing else!!<P>((hugs))<P><P>------------------<BR><I>Pain is a given, misery is optional.</I>
