Thanks for thoughts and prayers. I really do appreciate them. I get the results from my blood test tomorrow so we'll see what happens.
Had some things happen with my wife today. For the past 6 months I've been trying to teach my MIL DB techniques so that when she talks to her daughter she can validate her feelings. (MIL is THE source for my wife's childhood issues. My wife feels she was emotionally abandoned by her mother growing up.)
MIL blew that all to hell today. My wife's birthday is 2 days after Christmas. Growing up and even times when her and I were together, her Mom forgot her birthday. This year my MIL didn't forget it but my wife feels as if she was passed over again so she decided to tell her Mom how she felt. Instead of validating, MIL got angry with my wife and told her she needed help blah blah blah.
My wife called me to talk about it all. I listened, validated, and supported. I told my wife that it wasn't her fault for the way she was feeling and that I was proud of her for telling her Mom how she felt.
The 2nd thing that happened was that my wife has to go to court on Friday for a legal issue (nothing to do with divorce). She kind of hinted that she wanted me to be there so I asked if she wanted me to be there. She said yes.
I take the positive that my wife reaches out for my friendship. I have finally learned how to be a friend to my wife without putting pressure on her.
