Are you tired of going to bed every starless night, silently pondering if your moderately complex marriage is worth the futile effort that zaps your emotional energy on a daily? Do you relentlessly strive to satisfy your spouse that you often neglect yourself optimally?
Do you wholeheartedly throw yourself into your career because it's where you receive respectful acknowledgments for your vigorous efforts? Are your nonworking hours consumed with children's activities? Not only do they sprinkle joy into your life, but they aid in momentarily drowning out an unwanted harmful deafening noise. That noise is the constant reminder that the intelligent people in your inner circle openly believe you're crazy for staying planted in your difficult marriage for the sake of your children.
You're stuck. You don't know what to do. You want to do the right thing for your kids, but you're not sure what that is.
You love your kids and want them to have a good life - but you're not sure how to make that happen. You feel like you're stuck in a thorny marriage with no way out.
Having spent 30 years of life with a man with NPD traits, who is unconditionally loved dearly, and raised five productive children, which includes an incredible set of triplets – talk about stress – there has been a lot to learn about healthy growing. So I am here as happily living proof that you can steadily grow a beautiful, magnificent garden while being challengingly married to an Agave or African Violet without losing your sanity.
Guess what else? The children turned out to be more than OK! Four of my children are in law enforcement, two also serve in the military, and our youngest is in college, aspiring to become a heart surgeon - mending broken hearts. Life is like literature - full of comedy, tragedy, twisted plots, and satires- so why would marriage and raising children be any different?
Staying Planted For The Kids can help you find the courage and strength to stay in your marriage - even when it's tough. With this book, you'll learn how to remain rooted in what matters most and find the self-discovery you need - to know that you have value, no matter what happens.
