Thanks, lodo. I definitely do not think that everything is free and clear, and we definitely have issues to deal with. Some of the biggest are with family blending as the recent posts have indicated. I think the issues pre-DDay you refer to have to do with my concerns about W's emotional immaturity and lack of commitment to our R. All I can say is right now her commitment is strong, and her actions support it. I am aware that after this "honeymoon" period I will need to watch this but right now I am optimistic. Our MC and her IC hopefully will help us as well. Trust issues persist from me and concerns from her about my falling back to old patterns are things that I believe only consistency over time will address. I do see myself falling into old ruts, but what I have learned over the last several months will help me (I hope) stay vigilant.

No quick fixes, obviously, but I think the important issues are being addressed and not just through rose-colored glasses. Thanks for keeping me on my toes. I am not taking anything for granted.

I am anticipating thread lockage soon but I will resist the urge to dangle another one.
