I have a question for you. I was doing some soul searching last night. Two year ago my W really tried to get our M headed in the right direction and to get me out of my panic/anxiety funk that I had been going through for years. She started coming into the bedroom where I had holed up to either give me a hug, tell me goodnight and at least once a week to make love to me. She did this for 10 months and until I finally got rid of my panic attacks I didn't realize what she was trying to do. She gave up after 10 months and now we are were we are.
My question to you is should in mu anniversary note to her thanking her for the wonderful kids that she brought into this world should I also thank her for all she tried to do for our M two years ago and let her know that I now know what she was trying to do.
Not in the same note as the anniversary comments. Keep those issues separate.
Still, I'm glad you recall these efforts of hers. (It's no wonder she is angry and resentful. That's a lot of effort to get rejected --and that is how she probably saw your inability to get out of your funk. Like she wasn't enough for you.)
Good luck
