Renowned Indian wisdom? Har har, how about "don't let your pony loose in the garden?"
Just kidding, Optimist! I wish I DID have some major bits of wisdom to dispense that would help you.
Since borrowing my Tourettes things won't work in your sitch, I know in your place I'd definately be scheming to find a way to get rid of the XOW at your H's work. Any way you can manage to get her fired? Ever thought about contacting her X and having a little info gathering conversation?
That's MY machiavelian side coming out.
P.S. Is there any way you can get your H into with you? Healing after these things is hard enough WITH that help, I wouldn't be doing so well without MC help.
