SP - I am just wondering why, when she started asking "how can it be that you are doing so well?" that you didn't just tell her the truth.
I think you get there when you get there, but it is really a worthwhile question.
The paradigm has shifted but SP, obviously you don't feel safe and are on guard...how you build a bridge and get to a place where there isn't an ongoing power struggle, I'm not sure. I know it feels better to be on top (minus the lingering inevitability of the power shifting again)...works for now but indefinitely...
I'm wondering SP, what would you say you have changed about YOU (not necessarily in relation to W, but as an individual) in this process? Real, lasting changes, growth? I know it is there, just wondering how you see it.
