Anyway, I'm sorry if the link I posted to Kat shook you up. I thought it was at least a little bit more realistic than DB tends to be. For the longest time I just focused on DB and thought for SURE it'd work out because I was so committed. Boy did I have the rose-colored glasses on! Anyway, we HAVE to try and make things work, but I think we need to be realistic too - and that all leads to what MWD writes anyway, focus on yourself but don't close the door.
Hope you're doing okay - lodo
Lodo, I had the same reaction to that link--pretty depressing for me too. I think MWD might be a little too optimistic sometimes, but that link was maybe a little overly negative maybe--maybe a view for something in the middle would be good; I do think a lot of our R's have a 50/50 chance probably (not mine maybe but others I read about here) and MWD would make you think you have better chances than 50/50, and that link probably way lower chance than 50/50 I think. I appreciated the link, but it was a little too negative I think. At least a little? Karen
