WAW moved out, spewing anger, trying to detach

[Phoebe]

Sara, I really think that you nailed it about the stories the WAS tell themselves. When we don't act the way they imagine we will, they try harder.

The last time I saw my H he poked and poked until he got me to blow up after a night with zero sleep. The previous two visits I refused to rise to his behavior, and so he tried harder the last time. I wish I hadn't reacted at all. Kicking myself for not taking the damn Xanax!!!

SadHub, you are very sweet. We seem to be on opposite schedules lately - you post in the early morning and I am a night owl, so you may not see this until tomorrow. I'm glad to hear about all the good things that happened yesterday, about your D17s incredible adventure and your time with your friends. I'm so happy that your mother's surgery went well and that she's home already. I hope that the biopsy results bring good news, and steer her toward a clear treatment plan.

I won't hear about your day today until tomorrow, so I am hoping that today brought you all kinds of simple joys, and I wish you a lovely day tomorrow!
