My WW has a very immature mental or emotional age as well.
So you know where I am coming from!!!
My W is apparently going to an IC... Apparently it isn't working or the IC is terrible.
My thought... If a person was stunted emotionally as a child, there's a possibility that they go out on their own and grow and learn.. To be more empathetic, more self-aware, independent (unless they have OP, then they won't ever learn). But I am guessing that even if a couple of years fixes the emotional issues, it won't fix the intelligence levels. My W won't suddenly learn math and spelling and grammar, plus common sense, plus being more responsible, plus more interested in improving her life, plus how to survive independently, on top of the emotional issues. There's just too much to tackle at once!! And unless she changes to at least actually value those things, she won't regain respect for me, someone who possesses those characteristics. At this point she doesn' value thatt, and I think that is part of the reason she has totally unfairly labeled me as a nars-assist.
S11 is already noticing that W can't help him with math... Maybe I am giving her too much credit when I say she has the intelligence of a 14 y.o.
Ironic, the FF I was talking to, talked about how our home town/area, small towns, are so redneck. The people are so immature. Get to a large city and the people are so much more intelligent.
