I knew you were in that kind of stitch, Goldey, and I think there are other women who come to the board who are much like you were and it's hard for them to face the fact and call it abuse. As somebody has already said, the majority of us use the term WAW in reference to those who do not want to stay in the M but not b/c of any abuse or anything like that. I belive it is the attitude of the heart that defines the WAW that MWD describes in her article.
But, let me very quickly add this......I believe there is a needed place here on the board for you and others who have had to leave a bad situation. You, Soleil and some others have a way about you that reaches out and touches others and you especially can reach other women. I tend to be too hard on them and they don't like that much....
I have a hard time dealing with my anger where abuse is concerned and I don't think I'm the one to try to "encourage" those ladies. I get too frustrated with them. But you understand them, and that is why you are very much needed here.
You know, I hope, that I care much about your safety and health. Take care sweetheart.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
