These WAW's outwardly show resolve about their decision, but inside, they are scared and anxious about what they're doing. They need to "check in" with you every now and then to get that anxiety reduced.
100% true.
This is so true.
In my case both myself and WAW have a child each from a previous M.
I earn twice her salary. My S's mother is very cooperative and i never have any childcare issues. I work from home. I am concerned about the financial impact of the separation and the possibility that it may be difficult to find a new home close to my S's school. My future etc etc. On paper I shouldn't have anything to worry about but it is normal to worry in times like these.
She will have difficulty maintaining a home and the new car she just bought. Her S's father does not cooperate and will not help her with childcare. She works shifts and is reduced to asking neighbors to mind her son ( that will get more difficult as time goes by ). She has never really taken care of herself but is outwardly 100% confident she can manage. she doesn't seem to have a worry in the world.
I am well capable of taking care of myself but am a bit scared and anxious till I get settled in a new home. I can only imagine how she feels given what she has to deal with.
She has already made one major financial blunder and has not been planning very well but it's not my job anymore to bail her out or inform her.
