I think this demonstrates, helps us believe, that we weren't the problem, at least not the only one. I imagine that it would be really difficult if they left and then lived a fabulous life. So yeah, maybe it's petty, but it does feel good.
I am a firm believer that when they have true remorse, and want to try and make it work, there will be no question. You will know.
Before then, you may just be seeing their reaction to a little sadness, or regret, but not enough that they are committed. We all have good and bad days, even the WAS or WS, you don't want to allow their daily emotions have an impact on you.
She has mentioned a few times that she is "struggling" or "having a hard time" financially, and I admit, it doesn't upset me in the least!
I try to keep in mind that these "daily emotions" don't mean much, absent major admissions, and actions.
