I am choosing to detach but of course with minor children there is still some contact. She cooperates with me only so much as she is able to be in control, the very thing she constantly accuses me of (control).
I allow her to hurt me, but it does not endear me to her. I choose not to be bitter, but find it harder and harder to exercise the patience with her, necessary to see this through.
I love my wife totally and wish to see healing and reconciliation, but... her hatefulness towards me is beginning to get very old.
I struggle with the answer of how to proceed. This whole process grieves me.
