Re: [TruthTalk] Marriage, divorce, remarriage, continued

I think emotional abuse can be horrible too.  I watched my son go through it and there was nothing anyone could do.  His former wife started with subtle deception and it led to blatant lies.  She refused to go to church services and conjured up all kinds of stories which she told my son in law.  It was horrible and my son went to counseling.  The counselor met with her once and told him she was living a lie and that until she became honest with herself and dealt with some past issues there was no way for him to do anything.  She filed for divorce and he decided to move on with his life and not make it any more ugly.  It was a tough time for all of us because the "D" word was not part of our vocabulary.  Fortunately he has met a great gal and they are both enjoying doing things together.  It was hard as a mother to sit back and watch and realize that I couldn't fix my son's problems.  Laura
