4 months have gone by and the entitlement to decree is due 10th Oct 2017. My wife has refused to talk from day 1, has refused councelling and so far even mediation. I have done much to change myself. We still all live in the same house and this will remain the same as long as I can stay. My wife and now my daughter are treating me like dirt - criticizing everything I do. My children esp my 13 yr old daughter has already been severely damaged. My wife seems to be pulling the 2 younger children - 12 yr old boy and 13yr old daughter - way from me. My daughter is now incredibly disrespectful of me and very angry/bitter - in fact a clone of her mother, I am trying hard to maintain my self respect not reacting and not defending myself. I am am very fortunate to have a a very good Christian lawyer who understands that I do not want to get into the blame game/pushing away. What will it take for my wife to change her approach and see that the future can be better than struggling on her own with three children and that I love her and the children and want to put things right whatever it takes. What makes women change their minds in this circumstance. Is there anything that will shake her negative resolve. What caused any wives out there to reconsider and choose to reconcile.
