Thread #2 - Separating

[KevinIn]

Just got an email from the wife about our "next steps" - the first relationship-related communication in 1 week.

The email amuses me because its obvious that her dad helped her write it. I've known him for nearly 11 years and I know his writing style.

Why's this amusing? One of the reasons she is a WAW is that she felt I was too controlling and that she didn't have a voice in our marriage (whether this is true or not is a different topic). Now, she's 'free from me' and doesn't even give her own voice - its her dads. If she wants to prove to herself that she can be a strong, single mom, then she shouldn't rely on her parents so much. I can't blame them for helping though, since they are doing whatever they can to make their child happy.
