Fran,

Your posts have so much fight in them that I thought you would be one to to make. I am sad to hear that progress seems to be diminishing after all this time and work.

The only observation I can offer is that your posts read with a very distinct, and personally uncomfortable, combative counter play. I don't know if this is indicative of escalating anger building in your M or if this demeanor is an accepted norm for you and your H. Regardless, would it be worth trying to about face by flying the truce flag with you H while you are trying to prevent the M from dissolving? For example, maybe focus on a top 3 issues and let the rest slide for a while?

I don't know if these observations are of help or not. None the less, I wish you strength and luck in the days to come.
