Weird conversation with W today, I returned her call near the end of lunch hour, she was outside of her office fighting off an anxiety attack. I talked her down and everything was fine, then she started blaming me for all kinds of stuff including her anxiety. Then we discussed MB and where she is with things, Salient points:<p>
She has zero confidence in saving M with S Harley
Is in love with OM
Is willing to stay in MB as long as it takes to have peace with me, wheather together or not? (Contridction to above).
Conversation moved to kids and her placing blame on me for their stress. She finally got to me. (Her intent??) and I LBed big time. When I realized what i was doing I apoligized nad politely got off phone. I called later and apoligized and said I did not do a good job protecting her from me. She attempeted to get into other issues and I politley declined and excused my self. <p>I told her that I thuoght this stuff was working other wise she would not be thinking these things. Is this true?<p>We have a session with S Harley in the AM. Should I say anything? Apoligize again?

If you have apologized once, leave it alone.<p>I'm in Plan B and it's making WH so crazy that he's even breaking into our home and he came by tonite - kids let him in while I was in the back of the house - luckily WH came and left, but not before he unlocked the window that he uses to break into the house. Sick! I wonder when he was going to try again...... K
If he breaks into the house, call the police. If he is unlocking windows so he can get in when you aren't home, others can get in when you aren't home.

dad - your WS sounds "normal." OF COURSE she sees no value in counseling with Steve - or any one else I'll bet.<p>If she says she's in love with OM, she's not ready for much counseling.<p>For comparison, my wife had one session with Steve, read HN/HN, and used both to justify her relationship with OM and "falling out of love" with me. About reading this forum, she said, "I wouldn't stoop so low."<p>So my advice to you is to not throw in the towel just because she has no confidence in Steve or MB. IMHO, this is predictable WS behavior for her current position.
