Unless a person has been through the experience, or has studied the subject of the WAW, I don't think they understand how foreign she can be from who she used to be. The people who love her try to figure out what is happening to her, but none of it makes any sense, at least until you read about it, and then it still seems crazy! That is one way that this board is very helpful, b/c they educate newcomers.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
