Hi Tera,
I definitely will visit your thread. Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate the input.

C, I did decide. I really agonized over it but when that L sent me the "I think you need to decide" email it pretty much made my mind up to go w the other L. Reminded me too much of the emails from my H! So I picked the L I liked the best, am hoping she turns out to be like Tera's L! What I liked about her was her empathy (she asked if I was getting counseling), & when I told her this wasnt' my choice but I needed to protect myself, she was totally no pressure & said, when you ARE READY, call me. My IC advised that deciding on an L might be helpful in that I'll have an advocate when H starts acting up. We talked Friday & she verbally agreed to represent me but of course I need to fill out this 20-page form & send a check for her retainer & then she's officially hired.

Thanks again C for your support & I hope you are doing OK today! :-)
