You have to remember Cd that your wife has been practicing the phony image game for how many months now?
She's gotten quite good at appearances I am sure... This was just another performance.
And another thing she may be experiencing right now is shock. You likely earned a point of respect tonight. She likely wasn't expecting that of you... so you scored well on that end.
Proud? No... I think addicted is a better word to describe what you confronted tonight. You didn't address her CD you were talking to her addiction.
Addictions have a life and character all their own : arrogant, selfish, merciless, and shallow... That's what you faced down tonight.
The thing about addictions is that while they can have a powerful hold on their victim they are ignorant of how powerful reality can be... Addictions are completely closed off from and out of touch with the world around them.
You just have to rally that world together and bring it down on both of their heads with full force.
