Yes, I definitely need to GA new L now. And what you say about the not expending any more effort on someone who has left 3X in 10 years is just common sense, and is of course already what I am hearing from my family and friends. Doesn't hurt to have it reinforced on a board like this, though-- now that's what I call a reality check! I will post on the other forum as you suggest--I was a little confused about where to go my first time. I appreciate the advice. It is very helpful knowing there are other people out there dealing with same or similar, who nevertheless manage to survive sane, happy, and whole.
