“Last month a man came home from work with my husbands face but he did not act at all like the man I married,” says Marie, a 48 year-old wife and mother of three. “I've known this man for 30 years, married 22 of them and have never met this guy before. Angry, nasty, and cruel are just a few words to describe him. He used to be the most upbeat, happy person I knew. Now he’s gone from Mr. Nice to Mr. Mean. In spite of how he treats me I still love my husband and want to save our marriage. Please, can you help me?”
