I mostly go to my bible and prayer if my wife is continually abusive but recently I escaped verbal abuse to a (remaining) friends place, but when I left after only 2 hours, there was a message on my phone from police saying that they were at my place and taking my wife to hospital. What happened from there was shameful, in relation to hospital staff actions.

That is sad.
My wife grew up in a loving and caring home so not sure what happened other than an unfortunate gene pool. (High prevalence of MI within the family)
There were things that happened that were traumatic for her but Moreso because of her heightened sensitivity I think. And her family moved around a lot including in remote communities.
Her parents have been a huge help and support over the years.

Oh wow. That is bad.
I would be complaining also.
Thankfully we have not experienced anything like that (physical) mostly ignorance and nastiness.

Feeling blessed tonight.
We had a setback on the contract for our new house today where the sellers changed their mind in a verbal offer. This caused an enormous amount of stress and anxiety.
The real estate ladies we are dealing with noted her anxiety so are sending us for lunch on Monday while photographs are being taken so she does not have to worry about it. They were a little worried about her. Just not accustomed to that level of understanding and support from strangers.
They really going over and above what I would have expected to make this easier for my darling.
