I've noticed that myself in others R. I think you've hit on something with the low self esteem and feeling of unworthiness. I think on some level they really understand what they are doing to their families and LBS. How could one feel GOOD about oneself while destroying a family for very *usually* flimsy reasons???
I think part of the reason for the downgrade is they are shooting for lower expectations because they don't feel they can fulfill our expectations. They have convinced themselves the reasons are totally legitimate and are not at all flimsy.
I think if anything you backslid a bit on the DB'ing. Don't beat yourself up about it. We ALL backslide from time to time. You know what you need to do. I think you have a good attitude about it. Today is a new day. Start fresh today and get back on track.

You know this is pure fiction, don't you? The WAS's world is not anything like they portray it is. Make your world better than the WAS. You can do it by continuing to work on yourself and be the best IS you can be. Like I've told some other folks here. I rather be in your shoes than the WAS.
