Hey Pam - I was very impressed with your post about feeling to have to reinvent yourself. Thank you so much for sharing. It is very hard. It summarizes very clearly what I believe my WAW feels, amongst other things.

Couple of questions for you, you mentioned you "realized" you could've rebuilt your marriage rather than reinvent yourself, how long did this take and what do you think helped trigger the realization?

Also, did you really want to reinvent everything about yourself? Like all your past dreams, ideals, goals, morals that makeup the core fabric of your being usually doesn't change. Did this change for you and then go back to the original desires once you had your realization? Very curious.

gd - I would like to know the name of the passive aggressive book as well if you still have it.

Hello to everyone else and I hope if you currently have been dealt some lemons, make lemonade.
