All I can say is that it sounds like you've got yourself a bit of clarity as to how you feel about things. That's a good thing, by the way.
Doesn't make it suck any less.
Personally think you're pretty spot on with your wife and how she has bailed when times were not right, or when you were not carrying the load properly.
I'm glad you had the chance to remember what a real supportive family felt like. I think you do have that with your girls. Hope you'll make SURE that you have that with your girls.
She'll either have a reality moment or she won't Frank. Seems like that's always the case with these sad stories. BND didn't do anything special with her husband except leave him alone to chase his "dreams." ImLin let her husband run off, basically bankrupt himself, and drink his self into oblivion. Theirs came back. The guys were done I guess, and their spouses were still around. It CAN work out.
Maybe your wife will find out what life without Frank is really like.
Blessings,
Bill
