    What advice?

    Better to stop enabling self-declared therapists, on the web or in person. Take legal action and live in your house yourself, or live with the problem -- after all, you created half of it.

    But whatever you choose, or don't choose, stop asking, or paying, other people to tell you what you should feel.

    Most amusing part of the letter: the therapist saying the husband isn't contributing anything to San Francisco society. She's under the delusion that she is, and someone else is paying her for it!
