So...am I still a newcomer?

[any chance?]

My current thoughts are that living under the same roof is a good thing. Gives W a chance to observe new patterns and behavior, and makes it easier to NOT comment on them. There is a certain amount of the 'under the microscope' aspect, but at this point, I think it is making W realize what she might stand to lose.

Also helps with the W depression, I think. The depression is a big driving force in the upcoming D, and helping her out of it is critical for her well being and any chance the M might have.

No doubt it is a double edge sword......
