I mar- ried at 29, and had four children In 10 years. The eldest is now married (with children too) and our youngest starts high school next year. My husband also is of Irish stock--high strung, impatient, a ectionist. Ten years ago he ad a nervous breakdown, and al- though not hospitalized, he was convalescent for a year. I weath- ered the anxiety, money stress, etc., because it didn't affect our personal relationship. For nearly 20 years we had a good marriage and unusual com- patibility, then things changed. John failed in an attempt to switch careers in his mid-forties: and just then our eldest rushed into marriage. John suffered an- other emotional letdown; his tastes deteriorated; he became obsessively concerned about his health; has fixed ideas: collects grievances. Moreover, he is ex- tremely hostile to me. For a long time he scarcely spoke to me; but now has leveled off to a strained tolerance. . . . SEEMS DOOMED I have a part-time job which I love; and lots of loyal friends, many of long standing. I'm not expecting John to get any better. He seems stalemated in this dreadful ghostlike existence. And he flatly refuses specialist atten- self about something.

He's such a complete stranger it would seem like adultery! His way of looking over, around and through me; also his way of twisting or deflecting any topic I introduce, all reduce me to emotional zero. What can I read to help re- organize myself? Or what resolu- tions can I make to keep my feet on the ground? I feel cold and empty. 1 pray constantly and my faith is strong. Only hope lags. Can you help me a little? K.P.
