I think you handled that pretty well.

I can't help but wonder if she is in pain right now, much like I was when the roles were reversed. ....

I also know that through her suffering she will grow.........


I'm sure she has been suffering all along - just not recognizing it.

It sounds like a lot of this stuff is getting a central role in her consciousness now, and its really a big hit. It's probably similar to the kind of hit the LBS takes when they start to look themselves in the mirror and own their own 'stuff.' Only - I would imagine - perhaps more intense given the destruction the WAS causes.

It's great that you want her to find happiness - that is a good place to be for you and for your kids to see.

I was not ready for that and I know I had a look of surprise on my face as I was not sure what she was going to say next and also that it was being asked within the context of that very long hug..........
