FF,
Many people here have aspouse that is still captive mentally. it is really hard to see when you love them so much.
B2 is a member that can relate. His wife is still very much unavailable to think for herself.
My wife, was a pioneer for 15 years and I am not even close to 40 years old! I thought it would ruin us for sure. But I made sure to show love, hold my tongue, and show her the anguish I was going through. I made myself a better husband and man, and she eventually started to leave on her own. Neither one of us is DF'd, but the local elders don't want a piece of me. So we are essentially left alone.
What part of the universe are you from? I am in CA. Sunny CA.
