Format:Paperback
This is the first book about relationships that my husband and I both find accurate. He was the depressive/passive/DECEIVER and I was the dominant/strong/cheery/DENIER. I can't believe how true the book was for us. I never understood before how a twenty year marriage that looked good to everone else could suddenly fall apart. "Crazy Time" has given me a clear understanding of the rift in our marriage, and new compassion for the struggle my husband has been going through. There are no 'bad guys' here. I'm sad, but I don't hate him. Our marriage may be over, but our friendship and our own lives are not over, and I thank Ms. Trafford.

Ms. Trafford starts from the premise that in any unhappy marriage, the spouses are trapped in an unequal relationship. One is dominant and the other is submissive. If they cannot figure out how to escape from that imbalance, then they are deadlocked. I realized that not only was my marriage deadlocked, but my divorce negotiations were deadlocked as well. The same issues that made my marriage so insufferable were stopping me from consummating my divorce. This book has case histories that exemplify the lucid discussions about divorce. They explain how "crazy time" took hold of my life. I felt that Ms. Trafford was talking directly to me. She helped me to get out of my deadlock and into the resolution phase of my personal tragedy. I recommend this book to anyone who is trying to understand divorce.

I finished reading the book in 3 days and then gave it to my ex-wife. I think the author enlightened me into some of my own character flaws and helped me realize that it was't all my fault. It is probably one of the most important books I have ever read. It is a must for all those that are going through marital difficulties or those that have been divorced for years.
