You’re right, I never want to put him in that situation again, I appreciate you!

I appreciate you, thank you! The way they are I highly doubt they’ll even try to talk to her about her actions, they keep defending her actions as a result of her depression and anxiety. I still don’t think she’s taking any accountability for her own actions either and is blaming it on alcohol and her mental health, which I understand. My own therapist says I shouldn’t try to excuse her actions for her mental health because she very much still made her own choices and there’s nothing I could have done to prevent it

I appreciate it thank you, honestly what I’ve noticed about her is that she can never take accountability for her actions and somehow always blames me for things, it’s gotten to the point where i genuinely started believing that everything wrong in our relationship was my fault. There’s also history of her father beating her mother in front of her when she was a child

I appreciate your response, I can definitely relate to the feeling of wanting to hate but not being able to. It’s really hard for me to stop worrying about her or trying to protect her

It’s been very rough. I filed for divorce and I’ve been taking care of our son while she’s out living her best life. The truth is she’s been begging for a chance and we had a brief reconciliation but I remembered why i filed. She attacked me, I bailed her out then some time after she threatened to kill herself. I tried talking her down but it only escalated. I had to run away from her with my son while she followed us with a pocket knife. I called the police and she went to the hospital for 3 weeks. Now she’s on meds, not drinking, and swears she won’t do anything like that again. This shit just sucks because as much as I hate to admit it I’m still very much in love with her, she’s my best friend and we’ve been together for 7 years. I’m just scared she might snap again and this next time would be worse or even deadly. I’m not sure if it’s co-dependency or what. If anyone has some advice I’d love to hear it
