AFWAW and Smiley: I've thought the same thing since I began my journey. It just so happens that I began my journey about a year after becoming a bon-bon eating American "housewife." I finally had the time to think and face what I'd been avoiding in my big-important-corporate-muckity-muck life. I finally had time to read and find therapeutic sources such as this board. Before I had this time, I was on a slippery slope to becoming a WAW myself. That's what happens when you don't have the tools or knowledge -- you become just another case of a failed marriage. It is a crying shame that we have this wisdom available, but that people don't really find out about it until it's too late.
There is GREAT opportunity for MWD and Schnarch to develop a curriculum and hold classes all over the world. They could hold them in church basements, firehouses, and advertise with flyers. MWD: You listening???
; )
I, for one, am going to be sure to equip my son with what I've learned and with these resources so that he has a better start to his adult relationships.
So much needless suffering from innocent ignorance.
