Allow me to clarify this. There has been A LOT of giving W space during the past 2 and a half years. I like to think of it as a dance... that I allow her to lead.
If she is receptive, or reaches out, I am there. If she pulls back, or is not receptive, I go do my own thing. But the goal has always been to build the connection whenever possible.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. -Viktor Frankl
