Autoimmune diseases.
I just watched a video of a scientist who said that they are beginning to think the reason so many women have auto immune diseases, many more than men do, is because they are the peacemakers. He said that women are culterized into being the one that keeps everyone else calm and steady to their own detriment. Women are not allowed by our cultures to raise voices, to get angry, and to make a noise. We are supposed to always be the one to calm everything down and never allow any rage to show up anywhere. I know two people who have auto immune diseases that they said came on them in middle age when they got so bitterly hurt by their husbands. I don’t know any men who have an autoimmune disease, although they probably are some that I’m acquainted with. I would like to see this talked about because one thing that I constantly try to stress on this forum is to get something done, stay or go, but stop the stress. It really does make a profound difference in the rest of your life.

A true story
Always Yours, Bee is a memoir of what happened to a happy family in SF. The husband was hit and run over. The ER thought he had a mild concussion. It was a serious brain injury. He turned into an unlovable, and unloving, man. For months and months his wife and three small children lived with the turmoil this caused. Where this book meets our stories is when he embarks on an affair that nearly killed his wife. It is a true story, and gut wrenching. She became mentally ill. If it sounds too much to read then don’t. For the rest it is a perfect book for a WS to read. I have never read anything near this gripping, and honest, about what an affair does to the BS. There is a good ending but it was so close to not being one.
It’s a five star for me.

He wrote Liars Poker and The Big Short about what goes so wrong on Wall Street.
For those of us trying to find deals at the grocery store, or for medicine, or new tires etc these books explain a lot of why we are where we are.
