JDevast, it's fantastic you're serious about attending a program to help people who have been emotionally abusive in the past and want to ensure they never are again. I recall in the initial thread you mentioned that and alcohol had been a problem, and you're working hard now to avoid problems with either. I think you're right--attending voluntarily would be rare. This could be a game-changer for your future and show your wife and her support group how serious you are about being the best husband possible, no?

I bet it's been frustrating your wife's been quick to accuse you of abuse even when it's not so. I'm glad you got a nice respite with yesterday's lunch, and that she's asking about your treatment program.
