For me the "flip" was a massive source of confusion and was for months. On BD my WAW in the matter of moments changed before my eyes into a weird alien WW that I didn't recognize after I asked her about OM and she confirmed the A. I kept waiting for it to flip back off and while over the course of months she did at times become more her old self the alien was always lurking behind her eyes ready to leap out.

More than anything I think that hurt and confused me because to me it appeared so sudden and I kept expecting a flip back the other way. The alien must have been there all along though and was just freed by BD.

I almost wish that there was an "idiot's guide to WW" that would outline the steps that a WW goes through along with the steps that the LBH has (grief, denial etc) complete with a couple of 2X4s for him to whack himself with every time that he thinks "no - this is different". Ideally the last chapter would end with "and they lived happily ever after".
