More reading tonight... wow... my GAL is just, stinkin' awesome...! lol
Anyhow, I found a very interesting ‘Series On Manipulation Tactics’ and have been quite "blown away" by some of the insights I have read...
Now, I'm not saying that WASs are in some way... disordered... at least, not in some chronic way... rather, I'm guessing that a lot of the possible cognitive dissonance that comes up during their (I'll call) transitional state, and the attempts at reducing the dissonance, such as seeking validation for their uncomfortable feelings, re-writing history, and possible, radical "acting out" (maybe as an attempt to see "what fits" the new "norm")... there's also many apparent similarities in "disordered" behaviours...
Of course, the LBS also shows "disordered" tendencies as well... perhaps a human nature way to reduce dissonance and a version of mirroring brought on by the trauma of the sudden change in lifestyle and behaviour of the WAS... not right or wrong, good or bad...
At least... so long as these things... these behaviours themselves don't become chronic...
Anyhow... just interesting stuff... and elicits thoughts on perhaps SOME reasons as to why my W is in the emotional / mental state that shes at, regarding our M...
But that's just info and reasons... neither here nor there, as they say...
