woog, it is rather interesting that w thinks i am trying to control her behavior by getting mad at her. there are times i wish she would drive away and not come back. it would be easier to deal with. i am tired of being the stable one.

Woog is right. Get out of her face! My WAW did some pretty crazy things after she dropped the bomb. I was not great at giving her space. However, when I do, she seems to be coming back slowly to what she used to be. My take on all this is there is no way our spouses can change so drastically forever. It's up to us to do what it takes to help them find their way back. Getting angry and reading them the riot act can shake them up but I am convinced more than ever that it is not the way to go. Treat her as a friend who has lost it temporarily. Do everything right (for your sake, your kids and your mariage). At least if it does not work out you will be able to tell yourself you did all you could and you will be alot closer to your kids. Hope some of this helps.
john, thanks for the dose of reality, i was doing so well before last friday. i just need to remember i am in for the long haul. my problem is listening and believing any thing that she says. it is just rubbish.
