You mentioned that your W seemed more angry and quick-tempered. Have you ever had the experience when something is changing and you don't quite understand it or you feel unsure, off-balance, anger pops up? It does for me. I feel out of control and afraid and there it is, anger.
Yes, have felt this way before and understand the anger and attempts to control when feeling this way. In this current situation W is in control and creating the situation so not sure how she would feel out of control????

Is it possible that even she doesn’t like the situation she is creating / in but doesn’t know what / how to do anything else Or is she sensing something changing in me and that is the part that feels out of control to her??? maybe I am further along than I thought and I just can see all of the change because it has been gradual and I am too close to the situation........

Yes, certainly don’t know what is in her head – and most of the time in the current state not sure I would want to…….

Loved the fable by the way……. All about perspective and how things are viewed right?
