Terribly Disappointed

After two years dealing with a medical crisis that has turned my life upside down I ordered this book in the hope of getting enlightened regarding my feelings and my frustrations. What a disappointment. Thank God I purchased this book used. I am an avid reader but I had to put it down and never returned to it. All it showed me was that men are basically the same when it comes to chronic illness and I am one of many loosing myself in caregiving while feeling forgotten and neglected. And a few ladies in the book had affairs? Really?Outrageous. Totally a waste of time please don't read if you need a survival guide. I have done better on my own than with this so called Guide. Trust your gut and move away from this book as fast as you can.
