Well, I have been thinking about everything all of you have thrown into the pot, and I think the plan has changed a little. I am moving away from the "confrontation" type of approach to a teamwork type.
What I am thinking of is something like this: "W, we know our M isn't working very well right now, what do you think we can do to make things better?" Then, I shut up and listen. Then, I take what she says, and a close look at myself, and give an all out effort. I think this will let me discover whether she really has any desire or hope, without really putting her on the spot. And, I will know what she thinks is important, and she'll know that I want things to improve.
From that point I think that Dom's 3 month timeline to see if there is any movement is reasonable. But anticipating what that means at this point is an exercise in speculation, and probably not worth much time!
So, loyal readers, what do you think about this change to the plan?
