That dysfunction comes from her mother. He mother is 50 years old, alone and has nothing to her name. Could have good men in her life, but choose to live in dysfunction. Everything my W is doing now is something my MIL would do. IC warned me that W would do the very thing that she knows and acting like her mother is it. Normally that withdrawl you speak of comes when she gets back to communicating with OM. Its as if things are going too well, so she sabotages things by getting closer to him.
