Whodo

You sound depressed and trapped.

I have come to some realizations. One: If a woman feels depressed or has her own self esteem issues, her journey to recovery involves a lot of talk of “taking back her power” yadda yadda yadda. My first question is from whom is she taking back power from?
If a man (you and I sound pretty down and out) our “awakening or taking back our power suggest we are misogynist and subject of a good two part program on Ophra on how men are abusive and cause woman to have depression. Tears…..the whole nine yards.

I feel the same way. Take the remaining cash you own (inheritence, whatever) pack a small bag, and make the best of it. In Reality? Your wife will hate you more, but at the end of the day she will have to do something. Everyone has to do something and she sounds like she needs a boot in the backside to move forward.
Like the articles say. We’ve tried EVERYTHING!
Maybe the kids will someday understand. Maybe not…..

All I know for sure are there are days I sit in my car outside my house and literally have panic attacks walking in. I am kept in the dark on both big and little things, and then when I’ve had enough, I explode. Emotional frustration explosion…not violent. THEN I’m labled as “abusive,” or worse, emotionally absent. That hurts….
