There is a part of me that even wonders if he was verbally abusing/namecalling me to ensure that I would be a mess, lose custody, etc. but surely no one could be like that I would hope...
Karen, I couldn't say one way or the other. But I will say that a very similar thought has played in my mind for some time now. Since the bomb I have recognized that my W had been pulling back from me mentally, emotionally and spiritually for quite some time prior, and that was the real sub-conscious source to my own depression. I have been thinking that maybe my depression was, if not an intentional outcome, then a welcome side-effect to her actions. In fact, the more paranoid thought is that she would have welcomed me becoming so deeply depressed that I would take myself out of the picture for her, through a nervous breakdown ...or worse.
But like you said, surely no one could be like that, right?
