So W is having emotional breakdown. "Feeling like a failure at life." So glad that I inquired about validation vs comfort (thanks again AS), and that I read various other threads regarding how i/ we have been "fired as the spouse" and it is no longer my / our role to "fix," but rather respond with, "the sich is difficult for all of us". I think my neutral resoonses angered her more. She's used to me consoling her. It was weird not to. I didn't react Tori, did.t give her the extra attention (at least not this time). One statement she made was how she was disconnected with the kids activities and what not, whereas I "now" am in tune. I did explain that it was not my intent to for her to feel "less than," bit rather I heard her complaint of "single parent" and stepped up. I was always a good dad, but I truly believe that I have become an even grader father since this mess started.
So I've remained "dim," the past day or so. I think she's been matching me, aside from various "help" seeking from me. She didn't even mention good might. Oh well, I can live with that. I could add more for now, nut I think I'm going to sleep for now. Take care all... Cyas in the morning.
