Mules,

Good advice from FIB regarding your wife's counseling. I agree with him completely.

I'm not sure what your son "going off" on his Mom constituted, and perhaps if it was bad enough I might have agreed with sitting the game out. But it would have had to be pretty bad. Otherwise I would have tended to take FIB's approach and found a more appropriate punishment. Remember that at this point in time, your wife is not very gung ho about the whole baseball deal and very likely did put off leaving for too long.

One day at a time my friend. Keep reminding yourself that there is very little that you can do to help her besides standing firm as the man/husband/father in the family. Her actions are not reflections on any of you.

Bill
