As a relative newcomer to this whole experience, I have been on the receiving end for the past 3 months. What amazes me most of all is how someone can get so twisted and so cruel (can't think of another word for it right now). Some of the things being said to me are one thing but have found out some of the things W is saying to her family etc.. They can twist anything, it's staggering.... I thought I had been doing well to avoid as much conflict as possible but she will still rewrite the conversations and twist anything.

I never thought this person I have been with for so long could turn out like this.

I know you say they need some sort of loss or something to hit them Sandi, and I know there are many success stories out there, but man, is it ever hard to see how that may happen...
