[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 748061, member: 18958"] It sounds like either she is under undue pressure from her husband, as you mention, and/or she may be experiencing symptoms of a mental illness, like my son, that are fueling this. If it is either one of these, she has minimal control over changing her attitudes and behavior. They are serving her. As long as she needs these beliefs either to make a difficult marriage work, or to manage feelings, she will keep on. I believe the best thing you can do is to love her, to give her a whole lot of slack, and to try to be non-judgemental of her and her husband, no matter how you dispute their beliefs. This is very, very hard. For me, too. I don't think this is about the belief, per se, but about how it functions for her. [/QUOTE]
