How come men don't support their wife and kids anymore?

You can't control your wife's friendships, so you should encourage your wife to be an example to her friend. Your wife should tell her friend how good your marriage is and let the friend know that her bad experience doesn't mean good marriages don't exist. The friend's issues can only influence your wife if she chooses to allow it.

Your wife can just as easily do and say things that may influence her friend on a positive level.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
