Help with comeback to TBM wife

I don't think you want to zing your wife. You want to say something that brings you to the same page, working together towards the same goal, respecting each other, trusting each other.

She doesn't trust you anymore with the kids or see you as an equal. This is huge! You can't convince her to trust you by arguing against her. Ask her to tell you why she doesn't trust you and why she wants to police you. She probably is horrified by it as well. Try to listen and gather as much info as you can about her perspective and emotional reaction to the situation. Then explain your perspective, which includes the exact same worry--you want to guide your kids to truth and happiness, right? This is a hugely emotional issue for you, too, I imagine. I think it is okay for her to see that.

It also probably wouldn't hurt to give that Ballard quote about knowing the essays like the back of your hand. Or Richard Bushman about how the narrative is just not sustainable.
