@NTX - No, just very volatile emotionally. I think the BD was more than just a relationship problem, but indicative of severe emotional problems, almost a nervous breakdown. W even says she was "messed up in the head", felt completely numb, felt totally on auto-pilot, etc.
----------------------------------------------
I should note there are positive steps. Although she is a hot-head, she is much better at getting over stuff. Minutes now, whereas before it could be hours or even days.
She also readily admits that she has failed at most relationships, including family and friends, and really needs help. We made it through the holidays with only one explosion, and it was stupid, and dealt with.
My kids are struggling really hard though. They do NOT want us back together, they don't like W because she has been so awful to them. Unfortunately, even though she's working on it, W is still very guarded and aloof, and they sense it, and it makes it even worse.
It's something we'll discuss in counseling, but I'm not sure what to do, other than maybe try to keep things very slow, and try to do fun things at first to keep it light. Anyone else piecing had this issue with the kids?
