Yes, it does appear that it's easy for them to walk away. However, in many cases, they are already glomming onto a new partner/enabler before the front door has closed behind them.
A's appear to be very detached from their feelings and the people who should mean the most to them. I read somewhere once that the interesting thing about detached people is that they need someone to be detached from.
(p.s. - I'm not referring to healthy detachment that we practice when working our program, when I say "detached" as it refers to an active A.)
