Thanks Thornton. I guess it's definitely a Validation Marathon without being the crutch approach? It's hard not being an arse because it's what she wants.

She's already tee'd herself up as "the bad guy". That she feels like she's always going to be known as the bad guy in this in separating the family. Guilt running strong.

In some ways, I already see her reacting strangely to my DB'ing. I know this doesn't mean anything in what she'll ultimately do, but it helps keep me going.

I was talking with a friend of mine yesterday and catching him up. I told him that my W really has a "fight or flight" personality and right now she's got me flying on a one-way United flight!
