[quote=Anonymous]Sister OP here. I get it. My DH was a SAHD for 6 years. He also eventually went into another field (teaching) because it was more family friendly than his old job (consulting). As the primary earner, I get her frustration but I called this issue years ago when her ex was asking her to start making steps to return to work and she was resistant. She's a smart woman and went to a great college and had a great career before kids. Somehow the wheels fell off and she's just mired in anger, frustration, and blaming other people for her own issues. I don't know how to be supportive when all I see is someone who isn't willing to do the work to be happy. I listen to her. We talk several times a week and I love her, but the testifying issue sent me spinning and has made me question whether she should get help (I asked and she basically called me a bitch for suggesting she may be a bit depressed).
