Dear Still In several ways I could be your wife. I suggest you get the book "Your Father's Daughter" by Earl Henslin for deeper insight. My guess is your wife had an absent father in some way. He may have been around , but not present. You wife compensated by becoming the parent she didn't really have. She became her own protector. She became left-brained. This was survival behaviour for a child with a father that was pretty much not there. In my case I'm the one doing the DBing.
