Unfortunately a woman leaving is often seen as a sign of strength and empowerment. Kind of makes me sick. Met a WAW the other night at a party...spoke my truth anyway. We got a long very well so I think I made my point with out being offensive. You know, "every situation is different," etc.
Yes the girls are watching their mothers and I think it is a heartbreak for all children when they are not given a model of commitment and love.
Unfortunately, I saw H as someone who wound up being far a better H than his WADad because he experienced what WAdaddom means?
Is he better than his dad? Yes. Is he following in his dad's footsteps, yes.
And the forgiveness is about all of the confusion and added stress and financial, logistical and emotional difficulties associated with H's behavior AND his fanning the flames of their insecurity by putting so much stock in BS Lalaland fabulosity. I see the effect it has on them.
