BTM, Your thread title caught my attention, just read the whole thing.
I must say, from the outside it's obvious that she's using that event as an excuse. And I disagree that she has worked through the past abuse. She wouldn't be acting this way if she had. The family death, illness, everything is coming back to the surface. The drinking and wrist-cutting is really scary.
She does seem to be making it fairly clear that she doesn't want a D. And I know that's a crumb, but it's a positive.
My heart hurts for you man. It's obvious how much you love her, and want to make this work. Stay in counseling! Keep working on your stuff!
