Marlin Perkins! Classic! Yes, definitely, that's the viewpoint I need to adopt.

It makes me wonder who the real person is/was, though. Was this who she was all along, just repressed to make marriage work? Or has she entered into some wild mental state now? My IC believes there is a long track record ... and I think she's right. This is some feral state of mind she's entered into, but it fits a long term pattern of personality issues.

I am feeling more prepared than ever to let her go, and move on w/ my life. The only problem is I feel it will be devastating for my kids.
