Hi Pax!!!
I'm glad to hear your wife has gone to counseling. Speaking from experience in this area, I agree with judy's comment as well.
I also wanted to say that you ARE being supportive. Everytime your wife is allowed to vent her fears, frustrations, anger, and hurt regardless if it is directly to you in conveying the details or through expression directed to you; and you stay and continue to allow her to 'lash' out, you are creating a safe place for her. She will learn (however long it takes) that you are different, and not like the people from her past.
I know that isn't much, but I thought I'd throw my opinion out there... please tell her that I'm happy for her, and if she ever wants/needs to talk, she can email me (if you still have it).
Take care-Kiddo
