Am I understanding you correctly, your C suggested a separation?
Quote:
The wife of this couple was LBS in her first marriage and she contacted me to tell me how angry she is at my WS.
The friend may have good intentions.....or not, but giving your W a piece of her mind is not the way to help your W. Your W will just shut out this friend and find new friends that will give her support. If you have any more people tell you how upset they are at your W, you'd be better off if you asked them to please not say anything. The more outside interference you have with your stitch, the worse things can become.
It is heartbreaking to hear about your W's abuse. Did she not have any counseling until recently? That's a long time to go without any kind of mental guidance from professionals.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
