[quote=Anonymous]I this this is really tough. But, OP, you can't micromanage her job, or project your anxieties onto her work. Maybe she has the leave? Maybe her job is flexible? You seem to have anxiety over this that doesn't seem to be helping. I think your best scenario would be: 1) your wife enters therapy and decides this family dysfunction isn't working for her 2) your wife works with her siblings to develop a new family dynamic. I think the bigger issue here is the resentment in the siblings. Even if your wife decides to draw boundaries, the siblings will still be stuck in it. Your wife needs to find and build allies amongst siblings so this stuff with their dad is managed much, much better. Maybe he moves closer to one sibling, and the res of the siblings contribute financially. Something has to give. For the sake of your marriage, you have to tread carefully here. [/quote]
