T^2, I look forward to all your posts, on all the threads. You definitely have a gift for analyzing, condensing, and encouraging. I really appreciate it.
Me too, and I agree!
T: I too struggle to figure out for certain what my W's PLL is. I do know this, though... no matter what I do or say right now, she doesn't seem able to hear it from me. I don't figure she will until she learns to love herself first. As I follow your sitch, it seems it's the same for your W. (and many/most MLC'rs?)
I know she has been moving towards you. What signs do you see that she is becoming more comfortable with who she is? This is where I'm looking for progress.
How's her job search going?
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
