Bill - WOW - What a post - thank you for taking so much time to do that. I think I now have a full understanding of what is going on. I wish she would read that!

A couple of things that stand out to me:

- I should be thankful that we are still living together.

- how they eliminate things - it's incredibly scary because that is exactly what she did.

-The need to be free - but when she has that (or thinks she does) it doesn't fix anything

-The War being waged inside explains the conflicted look on her face sometimes - also explains why she left the Chinese buffet last week after 15 minutes.

-Now I think I understand why she doesn't want to leave her home - there is still a part of her that loves her family and doesn't think it's the problem

- When things are good -she is her old self- when things are bad she takes it out on the kids.

Thanks for a remarkable post - You have given me much to think about!
