She ran from your marriage, using it as a scapegoat for her unhappiness.
Since you and the marriage were not the problem, she finds herself still unhappy. But now she is without her greatest support and fan.
She's living an unhappy life alone, grasping for anything that looks like it might bring relief.
It's a pretty sad existence and something that we can actually feel compassion for her on. It's also a familiar story to see these people isolate themselves from everyone who had their back for so long, only to find out that they are now simply sad AND alone.
No need to wish them rough times. There are plenty of those.
Ironically, this is where you begin to regain your ability to become that light shining in the distance.
If you can honestly take care of yourself and begin to THRIVE despite your situation...if you can find the ability to treat her in a loving way despite the pain she's caused...and if you can become a friend who will always support her again...
She may eventually realize that you've been the one person in her life that she could always count on...
Blessings,
Bill
