There is a book “Love Must Be Tough” that goes through the four rationalizations of the WAS. It’s very good. How they justify to the LBS, the kids, friends and family, and lastly God. It’s nearly word for word what my WAS said to me. It’s spooky.
Yes, that's a great one! I remember thinking the same thing - almost exactly what my WS would say to me. It was a good dose of reality to go along with DBing and detaching.
