[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know. This sounds a lot to me like a woman with teen kids who doesn’t work who is manufacturing drama to create purpose in her life.

“What would everyone do if I wasn’t fixing the dog/addressing kids anxiety/hosting for 50???!!!”[/quote]

And that's a very possible indicator of anxiety, which is something to be discussed with and diagnosed by an actual doctor. Not us strangers here online. And it should be treated with some compassion by her husband, who like you sees "drama" when beneath that drama may be a person who's dealing with pain and self-doubts. If he loves the person he married, he should try to grow more concern and compassion for that person, not just sneer and toss up his hands and give up on marriage without making any effort at seeing her problems might be illness and not mere drama.[/quote]

Also sounds like a mother who is so exasperated by a husband/father who couldn't care less about her, the kids, or their lives. Probably leaves for work in the morning and doesn't give one thought to what it takes to actually raise children and the immense amount of emotional energy it takes. She is channeling her resentment toward him for doing nothing to help or care about anything into all this other stuff. [/quote]
