It's a bit of shock when the WAS realizes the amazing fantasy life they imagined isn't reality. When it hits them head on it does have a bit of a shocking impact. My W just drinks her shocks away. But that's just a numbing...the stuff is still in there even though the alcohol is keeping it from rising to the surface.
My SIL said to me yesterday - "It will be interesting to see how this all pans out for her."
Only time will tell. We are still battling over crap, so there isn't a real finality to any of it yet. She has a battle she can fight; a reason to claim victim-hood; someone to complain about and blame for everything (yours truly); a mother who jumps on the bandwagon with her; friends and family that won't call her on her BS.
What will happen when all of that finally disappears?
