Would love to know what those are if you remember.

I think GALing is a must these days. It does help me to detach and it gives me something else to THINK about other than H and the situation that I find our family in. It is hard for me to clinically explain to myself that I have to detach, not only for me but ultimately for the sake of the R. No matter the outcome, I have to bury the old R and move forward with a new R with H - whether that is a M or a D...given that we have two very young children - he will be in our lives forever. So detaching is the only way to "wash that man right out of my hair" if you will. Take care!
