It is funny how separation actually improves a person if they take the time to work. How the dark times leading up to the WAW/WAH destroys your confidence and self image.
It is great how the process of DB'ing helps build yourself back up again. I can say for myself, even though times are really hard right now, even though my W is so far away and in an EA possibly PA, that I am better then I was before the split.
Taking the opportunity for self improvement is a huge thing. It is the hardest thing in life to have your sense of self split in two, but it can be the best thing int he long run.
