Maybe it helps that I never discouraged her from going out and doing anything on her own, and in fact often advised her to do so; she resisted that idea for years while getting frustrated with me and the kids, but when she decided she had to do something for her own sanity, she didn't think that I would even dream of trying to stop her.
I am attempting to sow that same seed ... hopefully it will yield similar results.
