Everytime this guy shut his eyes, I thought he's going into his fantasyland. Saying whatever needed to be said so that he could hang onto his wife.
I think he'll go to treatment but play the game. Appear to go along and be " a good patient", get back with her then things will get worse.
This lady and her children need to be in protective care.
If she wants have some joint counselling with him but in the long run he's not going to change.
Did he give her back her jewellry? Let her go back to work without interferrence?
I don't think so and I don't think he will be able to do it in the future.
Dr. Phil get that lady some heavy duty counselling and a great lawyer and the hell out of there.
He's going to play you and the system as being his own victim then go for her in some very sick way.
He's a con and great at it.
You caught him so far, but I've seen too many guys like this and he will fake it all, just to get her back under her control. Then she will end up in a ten times worse position.
Please follow thru and get her out and to a safe place with a lawyer and funding to get herself back together and keep her and the children safe.
I really feel before the end of a month, he will be back, crying the blues, but still doing what he did......controlling her totally.
