I just read your thread and what jumps out at me is your wife has been pregnant or postpartum for 5 years. That is very difficult without a lot of support. And that support needs to come from many different sources.

How has the last 5 yrs been for both of you?

Also, it sounds as if your wife went from being being a respected wage-earner to a SAHM (I've done both) and the transition is hard. And no one can tell you how difficult it is. SAHMs don't get a lot of respect and they are doing a 24/7 job that never ends. There's also not a lot of support for them and what they do.

How did you support her through this transition? What are your real feelings about her being a SAHM?

I'm not diagnosing her with anything but as I said 5 years of being preg/pp will do a number on anyone if they aren't being very vigilant in caring for themselves.

What she's doing wears me out just to think about it.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
