[QUOTE="PonyGirl, post: 90115, member: 187"] If this were me, honest and truly, what I would do at this point would be to keep my head down. You've stood up for battle both at home and here, Mikey, and it seems you've been shot down for all your efforts. I support you in whatever you do, including not taking our advice. I for one do not mind repeating the same advice over & over again. I even do not mind hearing the same problem over & over again. If your situation were playing itself inside my house, if I were truly in your shoes, I would bury my head in the sand for the next few months where McW is concerned. Unless and until I had some firm support from my spouse, I would cease and desist all the mind-numbing second-guessing soul-torturing trying-to-help-when-noone-really-wants-it cr@p. I really would. I would eat a lot of ice cream and watch a lot of movies and wait to turn the calendar to the next month. I would be pleasant and bland and find somewhere else to vent. Seriously, no matter what you want to do, your wife will not support you and you are probably too late to offer any signifcant positive change on the life McW has chosen for himself. Salvage what you can, save yourself. Of course if there is any other overt threat from McW about suicide you will need to jump in, but perhaps it will be better received in that next moment. And in no way would I encourage you to stop posting here. Some members have jumped on you pretty hard and I guess we need that sometimes and you seem to handle it with wonderful grace. I don't want to stop seeing you here. Just my 8-cents worth. [img]:warrior:[/img] Peace [/QUOTE]
