You are right on the money LG, W has serious issues with anger management, and deep resentment toward my "traditional" family. She accuses me of "running back to mommy and daddy" and that I'll never understand what it's like to not have a mom or dad that love you. She is in counselling and making good progress, unfortunately that process includes bringing out very emotional issues that W has kept buried deep for many years.
W's parents divorced when she was 5. W's dad disowned her when she was 16. Not legally, just by literally not talking to her. Sexual, physical and emotional abuse as a child from mother.
God has blessed me with tremendous grace and patience, and I will continue to love and support W, but I can no longer do that at the expense of my career and family goals. I don't feel like I'm chosing the family farm over my wife (which she claims). I just feel like together we can both get what we want, except for one thing - W wants to live in a warm climate - no more winters.
