Its held in a hotel in New Jersey for the weekend and follow up sessions are in the basement of the church.
Thank you for your reply. Those are good suggestions about this helping me to communicate better. She only communicates to me through anger and when she does that, I normally shut down and give no response. Our marriage is like an open book with wife's family. There are many, many more things that I have had to put up with from her family. They do not respect me and treat me as they would like to be treated.
She is very sensitive to self-criticism and has an answer for everything. It really ticks her off when I do not obey her commands and do as she says. Sunday night she got mad at me because my parents do not want to move to an assisted living faciltiy and stay in their home. Then she tells me that her father is mad at my dad because my dad, who has only been getting an army pension (WWII) since 1998, is getting more from the army then her dad (also was in WWII). And her dad has been receiving this for years. I wish my dad to relay that message to my wife. My family is poor, we grew up on welfare. Her family, her grandfather made himself into a millionare so they do not have any financial problems. They take fine vacations, Europe, Cruises, etc. My family goes no where for vacation.
My family has not done anything to my wife as bad as I have been getting it from her family. To understand this, it would be like my family making cruel comments about my wife's weight over and over and I did nothing to stop it. CY
