I read what you wrote.

Other than make sure that each you have your own individual therapists, and a couple's one too would be my suggestion on this, as you guys definitely need to set and enforce boundaries, I don't have any suggestions other than try not to trigger her.

Here are some good reads on how to manage her.

We have all asked that question at one point or another.  You are not alone.  An individual therapist helps a lot to process the grief, anger, confusion and everything else.  Educating yourself (there is tons of good information on this site) can help you figure out next steps.
