Well the thing is that the WAW's emotions are very mercurial. They change as often as the wind blows.

The thing is that your WAW friend has the same mindset as the majority of people out there. Just leave. Why put up with that crap, etc. But the ones who find themselves on these boards are STANDERS. We stand for our M no matter how painful things are, we are the rare ones who believe in our commitment and will do whatever it takes to keep true to that and ourselves.

It is hard and that's why MWD says in her books that it is going to take more patience than is humanly possible. But along the way I personally have learned more about my strengths and myself as a person than I ever would have if didn't happen.

There is something that I found on a website that I recite every morning to remind me of my commitment. If you're interested, you can find it here:

It's a Standers Affirmation that helps me stay focused on myself and what I'm doing.
