Do you think that W is feeling overwhelmed and inadequate in fulfilling her responsibilities as a mother, W ane professional and she think the answer is to run away.
I know that for me I feel like I can balance my life as a professional and as a good mother. I am very wary of adding a R to the mix b/c I feel like I will simply be setting myself up for failure b/c I will just have too much on my plate.
It is possible that W is doing one of the reactions to fear (of failure in her case) fight, flight or freeze.
