Really hard when they want to be your best friend, your partner in family issues, business, etc.
I still wonder why it is so hard for them to understand that it is their choice to leave us and that means they are not part of our lives anymore?
I think you handled that as well as you could RD. Your wife is in a huge Denial right now. She may be tasting the bitter truth of her actions and the consequences of it.
Hope she wake up RD, for her own good and for her family. Why to insist in a miserable life as she is going through!
She does not know how luck she is that you give her space to share some things that happen in your life. Being patient with her and respecting her time, space and her position in the family.
Seems we are all a little bit low these days, maybe is the transition of seasons, maybe we are all getting a bit tired.
Hang in there RD. Hope you and the kids are enjoying some fun together.
