Hold on now whatisis, you know, my mother was just like that. It didn't matter what I did, she always would point out all the things I didn't do. It seemed like I was never good enough, no matter what. It was very frustrating indeed. Unfortunately, I was never close to my mother and I am sure that is a huge part of the reason. How can you get close to someone that criticizes you all the time. We reconciled the best we could in the last couple of years of her life but it was never what I would call close. However, I am at peace that she did the best she could with the skills she had and perhaps that is the same with your wife. She is dealing with this stich the best she can with the tools in life that she has - doesn't mean what she is doing is right, but its all she knows.
Don't beat yourself up. Accept the good things about her and don't take the bad things to heart or personally. I know that is easier said than done but you are a good person, you know that, your kids know that, I am sure your friends think that - so rejoice in the love you have around you.
