2. It will be a comfort to her to have you there, especially to help with the wee ones.

She will be upset, naturally, angry, and probably hurting, though perhaps not acknowledging the hurt.
I think one feels especially vulnerable when alone with two babies - so much responsibility and only so many hours, and needing rest and sleep.
If she 'orders' and 'blames' her husband, you're likely to feel a little of that as well.

Best to listen a lot, zip your lip more than you'd like to, and give time to and enjoy the bablies.

I sincerely hope A and husband get back together sooner rather than later.
