Eric,

Those are thought out questions....and taking time to think is generally seen as "crazy" in today's society.

I feel 1,3, & 4 are solid questions. #2 for me is the big one at the moment. She has already gone the route of introducing fear and the possibility of assault into the equation (I don't think you would Eric, but she has officially laid it out on the table). As much as I hate to say it, there are cases on the board were spouses have used this tactic to their advantage before. I am interested in how your L responds.

This is why you detach! I would venture a guess and say she is not seeing the reality of this action course. She isn't seeing that it is breaking up the family, hurting children, etc....She is seeing it as "winning"...get her way....getting back at you for all the terrible things you have done.

You are doing good. This post could have been strew with venom and anger, but instead it is thought out and concise. Another example of how far you have come:)
