Hi Jac.

Sorry you are here but glad that you found us. I think the very best thing you can do for your wife is give her lots of time and space. It sounds like she has gone through some trauma that she has not dealt with yet and is now anticipating additional trauma with the impending death of her dad. I would believe her when she says she needs to figure herself out and figure out what it feels like to be on her own. I fully believe that if you give her the time and space she needs to do that, focus on you and your son living the best lives you can in the meantime, she will find her way back to you. It is easy to say but hard to do. You will want to reach out and pull her back in but do not do it as it will only result in pushing her further away. Others will follow and give you similar advice. Trust it and follow it as best you can as it will give you the best chance of saving your marriage. Best of luck!
