Guilt needs to come from herself, not from her husband.
I like that. We really need to get out of the way, otherwise everything that's wrong is blamed on us. Also, by helping we're enabling.
I'm skeptical of the "it's for the good of the kids" argument that is often brought up here. I'm an involved father, so don't get me wrong: I want the best for them. But it seems to me like we use it too easily to have an excuse to interfere again, even if it's helpful. My main concern is that we sustain the bad situation by making up for it. The WAS has to step up to their responsibilities and the sooner the better.
