Pilot do some reading on narcissist and what damage they cause to most of there relationships. My fil. Is classic N. They are usually very controlling, everything they do or say is usually about satisfying there own ego do to low self esteem. I don't know about your w history with her dad but it sounds like it maybe is issue in your m. I know in my sitch I new there was an issue but really didn't understand the magnitude. You live with and love someone for so long you tend to overlook alot. One thing that I know impacted my w during a talk. If you have a chance to have that talk maybe a way into conversation would be to talk about your kids and what kind of r you want with them. Talk about your R with your parents growing up. Maybe she will open up a little. My wife opened up to me and I told her I wish I new how deeply this hurt her. I told her it was not her fault she was a little girl. And how much I wanted to love that little girl. I thought it was a break thru it really seem to hit home at the time. But 2 steps forward 10 back you know the routine. Just some thought on reading up on it . It May Help YOU Understand Some issues
