[quote=Anonymous]Where are her father and mother in all of this? Answer the question and don't avoid it, OP! Face up to the question of what kind of man you married and chose to have children with. She does sound very depressed and I suggest a trial of medication just to get her out of her rut and then she may be more open to therapy. But the thing about divorce is, it's not socially acceptable to be unhappy about having divorced parents. And she may face consequences from you or her father if she shares her true thoughts and feelings about it and about you and her siblings. Therapy only works if the person feels they can be candid. And in a lot of stepfamilies, it's necessary to stifle any negative feelings so that the adults can believe their divorce and remarriage isn't the problem. Otherwise it's too hard for the adults. Really think about this, OP. And bear in mind that what she says aloud to you may be quite different from what she actually thinks and feels. [/quote]
