And this nonsense about her feeling that divorce is the only alternative.. Her mother needs to CALL her on that BS

Your wife hasn't even TRIED retrouvaille or family therapy... She's escaping not becasue its the only alternative but because its the SIMPLEST one... it's also the most destructive and the most wasteful...

MIL needs to start calling her on this like a PARENT... not listening to her blubbering...

"Don't give me that my dear, this is not the only alternative, you haven't even TRIED anything else... I am not going to sit her on the phone and listen to my daughter LIE to me"

THAT is what she should be doing.. CALLING her daughter on her Bullshite.. not sympathizing...

Imagine ehr daughter calls her blubbering because she wants to quit school.. "It's TOO HARD" she whines... "I don't wanna go... quitting school is the only alternative"

What woudl her mother say to THAT song and dance hunh?
