You are correct in that its a journey with many more stops along the way. Oh and dont get me wrong. If I have any sanity left is due to the DR book and this forum.
Its just that this week the bizzaro factor and her madness went thru the roof. 4 months of DBing and it only did good to me.
So this week she wanted me to leave the house, had her lawyer try it on me. Forced me to finally get a lawyer which thank God shut them both up pretty good. Their scare tactics failed. But only because I found a nice female lawyer who felt for my case. Thank God for that.
Then - and for anyone still reading this thread it gets really strange and juicy - I found artifacts of "magic/voodoo" around the house. Please dont think I am a fool. I surely dont beleive in this stuff but it just convinced me that my wife has really gone into a weird dark place.
I found burnt red candles with needles burning on them. Googling it, she is probably in a rough spot with her affair and trying anything to get him back. Rest assured its not for me. Maddness right?
Upon further inspection I found burnt stuff and cadles/ashes outside my bedroom balcony.!
I confronted her. She said she burned all my stuff in a ritual (old dried flowers I had given etc). I told her to get rid of it.
She also has been visiting a psychic in the next town over, which she used to say helped her.. But now I see its about her Affair and does he really love her etc. High school crushes etc stuff.
How sad....
I did realize that my wife suffers from some kind of emotional instability. BPD perhaps. Talk to my father in law alot, who strangely enough has my back and stopped talking to her, realizing her rebellion.
