Hope,

Checking in for a moment from vacation. Here's the problem I'm having with reading your obviously very heartfelt posts/thoughts:

1) You don't want to escalate anything, because you feel like it's going well, and it DOES seem to be going well, but for the painfully slow pace of it all;

2) You keep posting that you're NOT doing well with the pace.

So, which is it? I've said all along, and I think everyone agrees, that your way is fine, SO LONG AS YOU CAN HANDLE IT. And while most days you're handling it very well, I think -- long term -- you're not hanldling it at all, because you're incredibly frustrated, sad, confused, horny, tired of limbo, ALL of that.

And it's all perfectly understandable.

So, ARE you okay with the way it's going -- INCLUDING the pace -- or AREN'T you?
