T41's WW is not in withdrawal. She is still in contact.

W only starts IME when NC has held long enough for the WS to realise that's IT.

When Squid hit withdrawal ash was as misrable and sulky as a teenager, bu I was in no way responsible for ANY of that.

I did loads of fun stuff with the kids, invited Squid along; if she chose to stay in and mope listening to teh Walker brothers that was her choice.

I have held her as she sobbed in grief over OM, but I didn't treat withdrawal like some disease.

Squid eventially joined in our fun family stuff. Other BS have been far more accommodating of withdrawal sulking than I, but I had my kids happiness to think of.
