I agree 100% with you C-Bart. I actually thanked my W at the start of my sitch for the wakeup call which has allowed me to also enter the greatest growth period of my life.
We all would have rather had our S say the M wasn't working so that together we could work on the R/M. However, based on the majority of sitchs I have read one S goes out of the M and has an A.
If I could have one wish granted it would be that the A never happened but everything else did because I am so thankful for the wakeup call. I have been a better Dad and a better person because of this.
