If she's been busy meeting new men; then it's hard to see. The rush she must get from that must really be powerful.
MC the pain that she's trying to numb is internal, from the past. Not from you, not from the kids. Something bigger, badder, scarier.
The high from "other man attention" is more intense than heroin, & harder to stop, according to my Doc. Especially if her past is anything similar to mine.
Take care of you & the kids. "fake it til you make it"
