Yes, that does make sense. I've gotten a sense of this in the last several days as I read through the forums, the site, and getting my way through DB.
Given the summer we just had I hate thinking that its been brewing for a long time. But I need to keep that in perspective because a long time is actually years that apparently those few months didn't have the affect I may have thought.
It is still crazy to me though that she knows I've been changing in the last couple of years, that I can look within, and most importantly, that I want to. She knows that I want to be the best husband, father, and person that I can be. We've discussed this during the few fights we've hand in the last couple of years. So given that, given the importance we place on our children, it hurts so much to see her unwilling to explore professional help. I cannot understand the willingness to put our children through the pain that is sure to come.
If a friend was about to make a huge mistake shouldn't she be called on it?
I should have an equal say in what happens with our children.
The craziness and unfairness is really tough for me to swallow.
