Quote: About the SAHM thing, I think that is part of your W's problem. She might benefit and improve her social skills if she is forced to interact properly with more people that she has less freedom to abuse without consequences that might affect her negatively.
Brilliant post, Lou! You are really GOOD in the middle of the night, aren't you?
ZB, I meant to say earlier... wishing for a heart attack is a very bad sign, kwim? Do you see why this is so bad? Imagining that your own near destruction is what it will take to change things... you seem to see your leaving as MORE destructive than your death. Very skewed thinking (not meant to be critical, but meant to say what a state of crisis you are in. IOW you're not "handling" this as well as you think.) Besides, your h.a., even (alas) death probably would not change anything in the family dynamics.
