My wife filed for an immediate divorce three weeks ago. She will not talk to or even acknowledge me. She has been very abusive at times and is also very secretive around me. She is using the bedrrom while I sleep in my basement office. She says that I have neglected her for too long and she will not give me another chance.<P>I realize that for years I was not very attentative to her or my children's emotional needs. Last October our 8 year old daughter was struck by a car and killed. I wonder if my wife isn't just venting her grief and anger at me? Any comments?

Did either or both of you receive any counseling after your child's death? <P>There is a really good thread with lots of good information for 'newbies' (or newcomers to MB). I'll try to find it for you. Meanwhile, I suggest you start reading and keep reading here on this site. This might be a good time for you begin launch a Plan A.<P>You can read about Plan A on the Marriage Builders site. <P>Naturally, your wife has a mind of her own and you can not make her change it. But you can make changes in yourself and, perhaps, if she sees those changes she might chnage her mind.
