What to say?

[Maisey]

Appears an adult child has a spouse with strong PD or mother issues, no surprise that happened.

I can't be enthusiastic of the chance of them reconciling their differences, and feel I my attitude is showing.

I just can't see being falsely encouraging to my child when I think they shouldn't put themselves thru the pain of years of dysfunction, constant cycling , etc.

Maisey - that is rough to see unfolding in your adult child's life and their partner's life as well. It is times like this - when my opinion could/would damage relationships that I cherish and is not mine to voice - that I think of as a time to put on beige and zip my lips. A neutral and kind posture as they figure this thing out.

Good strength and wisdom to you as you find the best way forward.

Thanks, good advice.

It's amazing how old anxiety symptoms just pop back quickly with this going on.
