You are right my friend and I just finished talking about communication while we were at lunch. I totally agree. I think that I will start with the letter so that I can make my point clear. I refuse to argue with him ever about her. I just need a compromise.

It sounds like maybe the both of you need to open up and learn to be more sensitive to each others feelings. From your story, more on his part. Communication has to be a part of every marriage otherwise your marriage will start to break down again. He needs to learn to listen to you, you can't help the way you feel.

Hi Laurel, Sounds like a tough situation. I commend you for being such a supportive wife to your husband as he pursued his goals and even through the setbacks which he brought upon himself.

Religion has nothing to do with the "Will" of a man. He has free will to make decisions. You are to old to fall victim and submit to things you know are not correct within or outside of beliefs systems. If he feels that enabling his children will help them not be co-dependent...this is his crutch not yours. When it comes to children in blended families, the communication with both the wife and family members, must have a tone...
