CL,

I would suggest though that if you feel you are doing all you can do to help and that it still is not good enough you need to confront W on it.

I just wonder if she is bringing up these things to see how far she can push you or use you for a doormat.
If you think these are valid issues fine but, if they they are just rants to get you to jump through hoops to make her happy then i feel you need to stand your ground.

I wouldn't have skipped your GAL activities IMO. I feel progress can be made without doing that.
