They are in such denial that they wanted to leave their spouse but in many cases, mine for sure, they also want to leave their responsibilities as a parent.
B, "many" is too mild. I'd say 99.9% of the WAS/MLC spouses on these boards want to leave their responsibilities of parenting. They want to leave responsibility period. Doesn't seem to matter who pays. I'm trying to get to the part where I see they are doing the best they are able.
Not sure I've ever read a thread where a WAS/MLC-er became a BETTER parent--at least whiles still deeply in the tunnel. Some are forced to parent more because of the stipulation of the courts but more isn't necessarily better.
It's the kids who are the victims on these boards.
