Merder,

First, I'm with BND - please, first person.

And, I TOTALLY agree with BND and Heyewire - they are right on. I was a total wussbag with my parents and stood by and let my parents walk on my W and me. Last year was probably the hardest for THEM as I took control of my left (finally!) and stepped up.

You're W needs to be first in your eyes and make that obvious to your folks. I did and while they did not agree at first (they BLAMED all of the separation on her, that it was wrong, it was her fault, etc.) they have seen the light and they have taken steps to fix it. And, I stand ready to rip bad behaviour.

Your wife is looking for a leader - someone to defend and not back down to others - especially your parents. You need to be direct with your parents that you won't tolerate them treating her (and you) badly....

Good luck.

Sven

Never sacrifice the great for the good. Sometimes the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair.
