Wifes severe depression, MLC, and suicide attempt

[Lifes Twists]

HI AJ,

I am not sure on how to enforce a boundary on what should be common courtesy. Maybe after our agreement in regards to the children goes through the court next Monday I will be able to work this out with her during coparent counseling that is mandated as part of the agreement.

Would I take her back? I think that would depend on where I am in my own personal growth and where she is at in her head. Would I take a postponement of the divorce? No, I think this time I would want it finalized as I don't want to go on this ride again.

When I say fixing it, I mean in terms of any chance of any kind of relationship with her in the future. I believe that until she has time to see that a divorce does not mean happiness and a easier life, she won't move forward. Until she can see this I don't think we can have any kind of relationship.

I know I seem one step behind her. I think that is because of all the time I have had to protecting and helping my daughters while picking up a lot of the mess her suicide attempt left in its wake. I have spent so much time on them that I have not really had time for myself until now.

I think she is starting to get a sense of loosing it all. The problem is that since she is always a negative person it will take longer for it to settle in if it ever does.
