Hey NW, finally getting a chance to get up to speed on your sitch.
You are doing an impeccable job. I can see your mental disipline.
Drop the rope, but don't lose hope. I know that's kind of an oxymoron. I guess it would make more sense as 'detach but don't give up hope' or even better: 'detach but don't rule out the possibility of something good happening'. But none of those are as catchy as 'drop the rope, but don't lose hope'!
She is clearly living a fantasy right now. That sucks for you, but the silver lining is that it isn't sustainable. Sooner or later, she will exit the fog. At that point you need to be ready with all your personal improvements. Until then, you wait (like the rest of us).
