Thanks for the concern. The holiday went OK and things improved from there. The OP was disinvited, threw a fit, and showed himself to be as troubled as he truly is. I think my wife sees this now.
It seems that her involvement with him is very much drawing to a close.
We're still not out of the woods, but the talk is more positive. I'm hoping that things continue looking up.
I don't want to jinx anything! I'll check in later, hopefully with some good news.
Now the biggest challenge is to find an excellent marriage counseler to get us "over the wall."
