[quote=Anonymous]I think there is a good chance that the "support" you are trying to offer your wife ends up causing more stress and guilt for her. She is clearly falling for the guilt trip that her father has put on her and now she knows that you are very unhappy with how she is handling it all which makes her feel guilty about that as well. And once she gets in that downward spiral even if you try to be more supportive, she's going to think it's just because you are still working on getting more of her time and emotional energy back focused on you. Until you get some of these issues out on the table in an honest and thoughtful way (a therapist can help), there won't be a good solution.[/quote]
