best and worse thing to ever go through

[eyesopen]

I am wondering, and this might be a question for a WAS, how come I can have a friendly conversation on the phone with my W, and when she drops the kids off 20 min. later she seems cold towards me? And no I do not let it affect me, I have been very consistent in only showing her a happy positive me.

Also, are there typical stages of recovery for a WAS? Almost like what a LBS goes through. I know for me it went shock, panic, anger, acceptance. I feel like the stage I am in now would probably be the fight stage. It is a stage that I hope to stay in for the rest of my life. With or without her, it is were I have learned the most about myself and what type of person I want to be.
