Cld - on the heels of Job's theory, what I find interesting is that you did mention, somewhere in one thread, that your XW told your children that she would return to you when you were "nice again." This comment stuck out to me as it is definitely not in the MLC script. MLCers always say they are "done." This indicates she may have burned out.
Again, you would still be employing the same strategy except I think you would especially need to look at things from the vantage point of the WAW.
