Dear Queenie,
I am a nervous sort of person and the littlest thing can make me completely panicky. The other day my husband told me he is sick of the way I can’t handle the least little problem and he wants a divorce and for once I managed to stay calm.
I asked him to wait with the divorce until I could get some counseling and he agreed and later he apologized and said he would wait and see if the counseling would help, and now things have gotten back to normal.
But Queenie, how do I get over being scared he might just leave me?—Worried wife
Dear Wife,
Get that counselling as soon as you can, and try to persuade your husband to go with you to learn how to deal with your problem from his side. Contact the Mental Health Foundation, tel. 542-1677, for a referral.
(This telephone number is pre-Hurricane Irma. If MHF’s contact information has changed, I hope one of my readers will bring me up to date.)
