Alamo....Someone wise on these boards made an analoy about the WAS which has stuck with me and that is consider them like lost luggage. And this is my 2 cents....they have to get to their place in their own way and time.
Your W reminds me of my STXH. He has always put the blame on me. I destroyed everything while HE was the one who did everything to save the M. Interestingly enough, as my D gets closer, more and more people keep telling me how they feel my STXH is going to have a very diff emotional perspective of things. It poses a curious question since he hasn't shown ANY remorse for his decisions in the last year.
I think you have the right perspective Alamo and I commend you for setting those boundries etc.
