The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Update to this from 2 weeks ago.
I'm continuing to see a therapist weekly and keeping the weekly meetings with our pastor. Two weeks ago I shared the timeline I'd assembled along with emails and chat logs between my wife and the Elons with my therapist. Last week she said she shared this with her clinical supervisor and the clinic director and that they're all very concerned, but also that my wife had only seen her therapist twice so far.
Last week I saw the nurse practitioner at our GP's office for an SSRI. While I was in the office she said she'd tried contacting my wife several times but that she didn't answer / respond.
4 - 5 days in the emotional blunting was noticeable and a welcome relief. I was able to discuss the current situation with another parent at the language school the kids attend on Saturday and was easily able to maintain emotional regulation.
I also attended, via Zoom, a local NAMI support group.
The children seem to be doing well in school, I met with the adjustment counselor at the elementary school to let her know about the situation, she said she had introduced herself to the kids but they seem to be adjusting well. Their new term of swim lessons and swim club began this week. The oldest seems to be engaging with his classes in middle school. His first swim meet is in 9 days and enjoys the regular practices.
With the recent violence reported in the news my wife's Twitter has been active with posts and reposts viewing the events though an anti-white lens. On Monday once the children were at school I asked her that when she's with the children to refrain from the white-wellbeing 'activism' and live-stream / podcast consumption. She denied that she had / was, I noted her posting of the live-stream she said she only posted it, until I noted her screen-name joined the live-stream at the 34 second mark, she then said she only watched for 5 minutes and that our daughter wasn't watching it. She then accused me of being controlling and that I should talk to my attorney and therapist. I emailed my attorney that day and spoke to my therapist about this today.
Jason Köhne and nowhiteguilt.org doesn't seem to get much attention in the wider press but I did see these two articles where he's mentioned.

I read 'I Am Not Sick I Don't Need Help', I think if we were speaking the LEAP method it describes would be helpful.
The summons is back from the court and gone to the constables, I expect she'll be served next week while the children are in school.
