Midlife Crisis - A life disturbed

Has your life been disturbed by a midlife crisis? Not easy. This is going to be one of the most difficult times in your life. Your life will get so disturbed by the confusion and lack of understanding that you are going to want to pull your hair out. You are going to have downs, then plateaus, then downs again and then more plateaus. And just when you think it might be getting better, get ready for the rug to be pulled out from underneath you again. You will feel sick to you stomach, out of control and lost in a world that only a few months ago was comfortable. Are you starting to get the picture of a midlife crisis? Now that we understand each other, you have to decide. 1) Do you have the stamina to get to the other side if there even is one 2) Are you strong enough to not have a revenge affair if your spouse had one. If your spouse is in the midst of any kind of affair, well it is likely you have a long way to go to any comfort zone 3) Are you willing to focus on yourself and truly let go of your spouse? 4) Are you willing to grow and take responsibility for your part in the midlife disturbance? 5) Can you take truly look at this time in your life as an opportunity to grow and learn and develop a stronger relationship with your children 6) Can you STOP the blame game and learn that being a critic toward your spouse will NEVER get the love back that you once had? 7) Can you be happy with no guarantees as to the outcome of this midlife crisis? If so, you might have a chance to get through this?

For many, a midlife disturbance is like getting hit by a truck, but the truth is that some people go through this time closer than ever with their spouse. It could take a while...Years! Are you ready?
