Mark... you are absolutely right.. safe distance is the key.

I also can relate to the expert comment. I feel guilty at times when folks ask for my advice when I look at my sitch and think "You want advice from me?"

I'm considering petitioning the AMA to give all those on here an Honorary Psychology degree. Not only have we gained a greater introspective, we've had to learn sooo much about others and their behaviors. It's almost masochistic!!

I appreciate any and all comments.. sometimes it just feels good to be validated!!

SueS --- Boogity Boogity Boo--- strength is now yours!! Thank you for the kind words!!

I will say that's one of the oddities of my sitch. W has always maintained that she wants to be friends.. best friends at that. I think it's her little way of saying "I want to start all over with you"

Here's to melting the Ice Monarchy!!
