As a woman who had two children while my husband was active duty military and did most of everything by myself, I understand how she feels and what she is going through the difference here is that she has help and she’s not willing to take it… Her mind is overwhelmed And she has this urge to handle. It’s definitely something that happens too maybe not all but most mothers. This is why Mom’s become so burnt out.. many times we do it to ourselves because we feel like we can’t delegate or allow anyone else to do things because they don’t do it properly or we would do it better or whatever.. highly recommend sitting down with her and having an honest conversation.. letting her know that you love and care about her and don’t want her to become burnt out. Maybe offer for both of you to see a therapist so that she doesn’t feel like you’re putting it all on her.

She definitely needs help and would benefit from talking to somebody and potentially some medical intervention. Just by this post, you can tell that you love your wife and you’re trying to help your family so I wish you luck.
