Thanks, AG. You're right. it is the perception of the WAS that really is important, although I have yet to have any one of her family and friends say anything other than they really can't figure it out.

Now comes the fun part. Talking or trying to talk to W. about how to pay for D17's college, while at the same time, decimating all finances through a divorce. It makes NO sense! I'm looking at scholarships, but we probably make too much to be considered. doesn't stop me from looking and applying, however.
