He is on chemo. He's probably lucky he can get up in the morning
Then he needs to get on the phone and arrange for a visiting nurse or home care aide or someone else in the community to come by and help with household chores, for his sake and his wife's.
I think your wife needs counseling.
I think you both do.
I don't think I would want to leave my baby who was so physically
abusive to me, what is going to stop her from hitting the baby when she can't deal
with it? Is her family going to say the baby provoked her?
You can control yourself, so get help for yourself. Suggest to her she get help too.
For the child's sake, it's not all about you or her anymore.
Good thoughts going your way. Emotionally check out so you can go through counselling with a clear head and look at your options rationally as to what is best for your baby. Do not check out mentally because your child needs you even if you no longer desire to be with your wife.
So, just an update but marriage counseling really has not been working, however I finally grew a pair and have been standing up for myself. Our daughter is being baptized and my wife plans to have the party here, excluding my family because she dislikes them. This should be amusing. Also, two wks ago I contracted MRSA somehow but am now cleared. The ***** said to not touch the baby for a week or change her diaper. Its too bad Im going to do it anyways.
So after 6 years of marriage and a 7 week old newborn, the wife and I may be splitting. Shes always saying how i never do things right, im a horrible dad, cant hold a job etc. Finally I stood up for myself thurs and said every name under the sun to her. She grabbed me, threw me on the couch and started punching me. I called the cops and now of course her family thinks im the jerk. I got to my boiling point of being made feel worthless(especially after dealing with cancer for 5 years and severe PTSD). Now she has her family all pissed off saying I provoked it. So why am I feeling guilty?
You have nothing to feel guilty about at least you didn't hit her mate ( which under the circumstances a lot of men would )
Her family will of course always side with her but I'd tell them to F off as your marriage should have nothing to do with them!!
Ps I hope you get well soon with the cancer and PTSD
