Thanks, H, talking about your own situation actually helps. It provides comparison and contrast to my own sitch, which is pretty bleak.

Karen, that's not just Dr. Phil but MWD too. And I have asked myself that question a lot, but quite often I just don't have a definitive answer. It's a fine line -- balancing standing up for my own interests, and those ultimately for my S's, against potentially antagonizing W. It seems I am often d*mned if do or d*mned if I don't, in her eyes. So I feel it makes more sense to try to align myself with God's purposes instead, to do what I am led to do that is right with Him.
