gormley Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Hi Guess I know the answer to this but would appreciate some views. My wife of only 6months left 3 months ago saying I had been emotionally abusive to her. We'd been together for 5 years, she has a 12yoa girl who had been living with us for the 5 years and we have a 2yoa girl together too. I have suffered from bouts of depression and this was untreated (and unrecognised) by me 2 years ago soon after our daughter was born. It was a difficult time with a house move, builders etc and I must admit I was angry and intimidating at times. But we got through, had some counselling and put it behind us. Anyway she has now left and isn't allowing me to see our daughter. She has already issued divorce papers but haven't heard anything else from her lawyers for 3 weeks now. We had a chance meeting last week and I told her I loved her and didn't want this. She said that being a single parent again was her greatest fear and that it was my fault. She also made some untrue allegations about making a pass at her friend and sleeping with someone else. She's rightfully angry about some of the things I have said and done but also angry about stuff I haven't. She's not perfect too and has her own problems but I'm being blamed for everything. I emailed later in the day and asked if she wanted to meet but have had no response. Since she left I have been sorting myself out with counselling etc. I guess it's over but was hoping that she may see that I'm am working on my issues and rethink things in the future. Any views/advice on this and whether anyone has come back from the brink like this.
