I am a 46 year old married to a 38 year old. I have MS and was recently also diagnosed w/ Epilepsy. My world is turning upside down. My wife wants to leave and has picked out a subsidized apt. about 20 miles away. I guess the separation will be good for both of us as she almost constantly criticizes me in front of my daughter. If I talk back to her as in disagreeing with, she blows up. I get the feelings she absolutely cannot stand me. She is disgusted with me and says she can't wait to get away from me.
I am very concerned for our daughter and the short and long term effects this has on her. Does anyone have any advice?

~let your daughter know that she is loved regardless of what happens between ya'll. don't argue in front of her and if your wife does, walk away. be there to support her and love her and let her know you will always be her dad...always

Wife and daughter have left. How do I repair a marriage when wife does not want to try: refuses marriage counseling, constantly critical, she cannot hold temper down. House is almost entirely empty now except for me. I am a former pastor. With my MS, I cannot do my public health work anymore and will probably return to the pastorate, if any church will have me. I feel God has deserted me in some ways. What have I done?

you haven't done anything, there's just no god (my opinion.) Things will improve when you get yourself back from your wife. Good luck man.
