That stranger part is like a surprise shot in the gut over and over again. You see that same person you've known, and then all of the sudden it's not her, it's someone else in their body.
I guess that's why some folks here call the WAS "the alien."
Who are you and what did you do with my wife? I've had to bite my tongue not to say that. Now after reading it, you probably will too.
What's even worse than being able to walk away from that contact with you is the complete selfishness & disregard for her kids best interest. (ummm, a whole family if possible?) Before kids, rejection of ourselves is like getting dumped X 10, doable even though it sucks. But not after that, the kids are the whole point of the family unit.
Isn't there a Billy Joel song about "the stranger?"
HAHAHA, just found this on google.
Once I used to believe I was such a great romancer Then I came home to a woman That I could not recognize When I pressed her for a reason She refused to even answer It was then I felt the stranger Kick me right between the eyes
