No argument from me. I do not have a dog in this hunt. It just seemed that there was information available that if it was me...…...would not have been. That is all I was saying.
Here is something else from Charlotte von Kirschbaum - Wikipedia
"The long-standing relationship was not without its difficulties. The relationship caused offense among some of Barth's friends, as well as his mother and brothers. Barth's children suffered from the stress of the relationship between Barth and his wife, and "Lollo", as her friends and Barth called Charlotte, once wrote to Barth's sister Gertrud Lindt in 1935, where she expressed her concern about the precarious situation:
The alienation between Karl and Nelly has reached a degree which could hardly increase. This has certainly become accentuated by my existence."
Barth found her indispensable as a secretary, I don't know if he discussed intellectually with her his theological ideas, but its thought that he would not have produced a lot of his writing without her. I think he had become emotionally and perhaps intellectually dependent on her.
