Great article..... but my feeling is that our WAS does not want us to help solve their problems, and therefore, this advice would only serve to tick them off.

My H was asked to leave our home because I was so tired of his anger. It seems like it is the same type that enveloped your WAW.... slow, simmering, on the back burner. THEY are the victims of not just US, but many people who cross their path. When they get hurt, they seem to create a special spot to catalog and store the pain that they felt. For some reason, sincere apologies mean nothing. For most of us (at least, most of the people that I know), yeah... we get hurt, there is an apology given, we accept it, forget the incident and move on. Not them.

So, it seems to me that we read the article ourselves, take it it heart, and forgive them for their current attitudes. And let it go.

We can't change our WAS. We can only change ourselves.
