Hi Brian, Your wife's behavior is very strange. Can you tell us more about her childhood please? In particular I would like to know if her parents got divorced, who filed for divorce, how old she was when that happened and any other traumatic experience during her childhood.
CLD, thank you for note. I agree the behavior is odd. I search every forum and can't find a similar situation.
To answer your question, my wife grew up in a third world country with extreme poverty. At one point in her childhood they were homeless. Somehow and with a little luck she beat all odds and got a ticket to the US. She had a rough time at first being alone in the U.S. The parents are still married but there's a weird dynamic in the family I can't put my finger on. I heard a new event could bring up bad past experiences setting off a chain of events. If it has anything to due to mental illness she would never it admit. If it's an early MLC or EA/PA maybe I can wait it out.
