Some folks here suggested I tell my wife about this blog. Well I did just that in a counseling session tonight. She was rather taken aback. I told her that she and I were anonymous to folks here so it was perfectly fine.
The counselor explained to my wife that a great many people were blogging these days. I told my wife the whole truth about what I said here and what kind of feedback I had recieved. My DW declined to read the blog though. I feel better having told her however.
We are talking instead of screaming and that is a good start!
Told the wife about this Blog.

I can understand her shock. Even if you are anonymous, people are reading about your life and, in your case, you have chosen to share an aspect of your life with us, but, in her case, a part of her life is being shared with a group of strangers without her knowledge....when the shock wears off, she'll see that this is much better than you sharing with all of your off-line friends, for example, and, she might want to come and read...that, too, will be a shocker and I imagine at the beginning she might even feel offended....but, again, once the shock wears off, that might open her eyes and help her ponder her actions...
Good luck!

I wouldn't push her into reading your blog, though. That one just may backfire. Too much finger pointing if you know what I mean.
Glad to hear that you're back in counseling and not screaming. That's real progress. She just might be admitting to herself that she has a problem and is willing to work on it. See if she'll go on her own, but don't push it.
