Living with my WAW 3

[SuperDad]

Theoden,
Thanks for the insight. I do feel that I am at least back in control of my life to a large extent. Because of the kids, there is a limit to this control, but that's life!

I completely agree with your assessment of her situation. I can only think that this is God's way of teaching me to be more patient and to really listen to what is going on in the lives of those around me. What His plan for her might be, I can only fathom!

Options A, B, and C all have merit. Are there babysteps in B or C?

I think baby steps in B will eventually lead to C, and started this a bit with the convo on her 'plan'.

As Frank_D might say, you are her only life-line. You are a her rock, her compass. Perhaps that might offer you compassion for someone who is very confused.

I will be the rock! I just wish I had the slightest clue as to how to be her lifeline. It is so hard to watch someone who you love (or at least loved) destroy themselves.

I think your confidence and courage and power is growing in the marriage. You have taken all your power back. It seems you hold all the cards.

I am getting there, but still have to work on this.

Thanks, SD
