Help, it seems my 35 year old wife is in MLC #12

Last night I went to a Junior A hockey game with the kids and W. It was an event that was sponsored by the school.

It was a good night. It was nice to be out as a family. W sat at one end and I sat on the other with the kids in the middle. However, W spent half the night leaning across the kids so she could talk to me.

It as the same old thing. She was miserable when she got there. She even apologized to the kids for being short with them. But after a while I had her smiling and laughing.

Today I was out with S9 and I was talking to him about how he should be nice to his mother because she is having a hard time and is stressed because she can't find a job. I then asked him "Does Mommy seem happy?" His reply was "No not really" I then told him that it's because she can't find a job.

I also took the opportunity to ask him if W and OW argue. He said yes, every couple of months. He has no concept of time like that so I have no idea how much they argue. OW also gets back from work when it is almost time for the kids to go to bed. I would also hope that if they were going to argue they would not do it in front of the kids plus W only has the kids 1/2 the time. Therefore, they could be arguing more than he realizes or I could be just grasping at straws here.

I didn't want to push it any more so I dropped it. Although, I now know that W is not happy when she is at home and that her and OW argue. However, when she is around me, she usually ends up smiling and laughing and we had maybe 2 or 3 arguments in almost 15 years.
