Thanks again David. I have read and reread many of the resources and will continue to do so.
I really do fine most of the time. And I honestly didn't think that I would react to receiving the settlement offer in this way. I expected this reaction when I received D papers, I expect this reaction when I finally see or meet OW or she has an interaction with my Ds.
But H never saw my reaction. So....I guess that is good.e
The difficulty with the stages is not necessarily the time, although that is hard. It is the not knowing if they will come out of it....or even if it was MLC in the first place. Some never come out of MLC. So the LBS could wait and wait...for nothing.
