Oh she is definitely depressed. Hopefully the space I am giving will help her feel comfortable enough to address it more effectively.
I have a question about validation. I understand I definitely need to validate when she wants to blame me for things that went wrong. But much of this problem comes from her poor self-esteem. When she dropped the bomb and in a later conversation she said she hated how she treated me, felt like she couldn't compromise, and explained how no one could change. A Very pessimistic attitude. Is it best to validate this too or turn it around into some sort of compliment about the WAW's strengths?
