Thanks for the post - I really appreciate your willingness to share this personal stuff. My sincere thanks to everyone who has been willing to do so.
You hit the nail on the head with the way she feels. I know she's tenatively sought support from others over the years on this with no real response. I think even her mother was kind of "whatever" (MIL isn't the kind to be sensitive about it either). W has talked to our conciller about it though.
I'm going to take it easy at the moment. I did, however, order some books from Amazon today about, um, things I can do for her. I showed her the printout of books I ordered tonight and she said it turned her on just reading the titles. This is a big 180 for me - although I was supportive before, I think my clinging to my conservative backgroud made me somewhat unapproachable on the whole thing.
Things are going to be a LOT different for us when we get to that point.
So, W went to C today - our counciller is worried about her, she's not sleeping, feels a lot of anxiety, and feels generally numb emotionally. C is worried she's headed for depression again. I personally don't know about that, but she definitley needs to get some good sleep.
We're looking forward to this trip we have planned for the weekend too.
