I think it is every single LBS ultimate fantasy...that walkaway spouse will one day see things the way we do. That they will regret their actions and regret the loss of LBS. Validation that will communicate their regret for losing us.
But here's the truth. All that does, is simply feed our egos. None of us wants to be disposable. But the fact is we were very disposable to them. Our family was disposable to them.
Now this might say more about them and what they are capable of regarding committment and family and values. Or it might simply be that they recognize life is short, they are miserable with us and need a different path. It doesn't matter because the outcome is the same.
I think true strength comes from not needing their lies or validation or ego boosts or them. True strength comes from just accepting the loss and moving on because it's out of our control and we are ok with ourselves.
