[DownNotOut...yet]

Time is on your side. If you can keep hanging in there, I think it will work out. If all was bad for 20 yrs, why should 1 year fix it? You could look at it as, she doesn't appear to be going anywhere, you last year has been the best in 20, seems like an upward trend to me. No matter how anyone tries to look at this in a beer half empty sort of way, it appears you are headed in the right direction.

Be careful with the sarcasm. I am king of sarcasm but sometimes things go over her head, or she doesn't get it and then I just seem mean. I suspect you might the same issue.
