Some advice?

Hello everyone, thank you for being here. It has been a while since my last update.

Well, my wife who moved out about 5 months ago is now out of the fog. She wants to try and make it work. We started counciling and have been to three sessions. I agreed to do it becasue no matter what happens we still have to raise two young children together.

I have learned a lot in the last year and I am ok will being alone now. My utmost desire is to raise me family whole, but I am concerned that if I take her back she will not address her obsesive compulsiveness and Jealosy issues that spearheaded this thing.

All my family and friends are saying to just leave her and that is the only way she will grow up and find love for herself. I think that would be such a waste of a good family if three years ago she is happy and we split the family.

I also wonder if I can really be happy with her again.

She is pressuring me to let her back home. I know these are general comments, but would appreciate any questions or input they may generate.

thanks

ws

I am glad to learn that you are healing and moving on in your life. When I went a year ago for IC to help me deal with my H's A, I was diagnosed as having OCD. If your wife has not had any counseling involving Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), may I strongly suggest that she get some. It is considered the most effective therapy for OCD. I am also on Lexapro, which has shown to help both depression and OCD.
