Have you heard of people going through a mid life crisis? This is something that is joked about quite often, however now that I am approaching that time in my life I do not think it is a joking matter. I have seen several people, men and women alike doing some crazy things as they age. Even in the midst of doing something out of character and reckless people will acknowledge that the behavior is not normal for them, but they continue it anyway. I think we need to find a healthy way for people to express their fears about getting older rather than watch people self destruct.
My brother was one of the first people that I was close to that I watched go through a mid life meltdown. My first clue was when he started searching for mustangs for sale. This was his all time dream car. He had one in high school that he had saved every penny he earned to buy. It was an old model, not old enough to be a classic, but still a very cool car. He drove it until he met his future wife. She hated it and insisted that he sell it. They were married early and always had a relationship where she made all the decisions. She has never been a very pleasant woman. They got married young and had their children early so by the time they were in their mid forties they were empty nesters. This is when my brother started looking for mustangs for sale. I knew it was not something that he had discussed with this wife because he came over to our house to do it. He was looking through newspapers, car traders and online in the hopes of finding mustangs for sale that would meet his needs. He found one that was down in Mississippi. We live in Minnesota. He suggested that I hop in the car with him and we would go down and look at it. We had never spent any time together just the two of us and he thought it would be fun. He asked me in front of my husband who promptly agreed to watch our children. We called about the car, made arrangements to get off from our jobs and we started driving. During the drive we talked a great deal about what we plan for in our lives and what occurs while we are making plans. He shared how unhappy he was in his marriage and how long another possible forty years with his wife would be. By the time we got to Mississippi he was no longer thinking about mustangs for sale, instead he was thinking about getting a divorce lawyer. By time we were back to Minnesota he agreed to go to counseling to see if they could work through some things so life would be happier. I think a lot less motorcycles, convertibles, face lifts and tattoos would be sold if people drove fifteen hundred miles and talked about what they were buying before making the purchases.
