I'm very sorry you are hurting so badly, but n matter what color you want to paint this painful journey on the mlc path, it will not be easy. There is absolutely nothing you can do to make your wife happy. Happiness comes from within and you've got to let her grow up and learn this on her own.
Unfortunately, you will need to keep the focus on yourself and your family. Holidays are extremely tough for the lbs. Your support will come from the board and from friends and family that are there for you. Treat her as you would a friend and keep your expectations at zero at all times when it comes to her.
Please plan some outings for you and your children during the holidays. You need to find ways to keep busy so that your focus is not on her.
Again, I am very sorry you are here and your journey is still rather bumpy.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
