Problem:
Please comment on the posted advice for the 2 cases studies in last week's forum. How does the columnist's advice match the readings? Based on this reading Carolyn's response: So you'll go only if everyone else does? Look around you. You see an ex-wife who is mean to you, a husband who doesn't defend you, a stepson who's being denied you. Just because you see all this around you doesn't mean you're at the center of everything. You describe it as if you are, though, and no wonder you're miserable. This is, essentially, between your husband, his ex and their son. It affects your home life profoundly, yes, and you do have a role - but you are peripheral. Embrace that. See what liberation there is in not being part of a problem anymore. Angry exes don't torment second wives; they use second wives to torment their ex-husbands. If she's as toxic as you say, she would be doing this to anyone he married. Have a little perspective.
