[quote=Anonymous]As someone in this situation I can tell you no one on the outside really knows what happens in our house. It's embarrassing that it happened to me, I don't want people to know so I cut myself off from my friends. I am successful and a strong woman and if you met me or my husband you would have no idea. The best thing I can say is to be there for her, be her friend for lunch and coffee. Offer to take her kids out so she has a moment to herself without her spouse because otherwise she is probably always on edge not knowing when the next blow up will be - could it be when he is alone with the kids?. Be close to her even when she is closing you off because if things are bad there will come a time when she wants to call someone and tell them something is wrong or that she needs help. [/quote]
