A couple of thoughts to ponder, Cutter, that jumped out at me from reading your thread:
- Normally, when someone communicates as much as you did to us how much they are "dropping the rope," or how important it is to them that they come across as dropping it . . . they haven't dropped it yet.
- It is always best to make potentially life-changing decisions when you're NOT experiencing ANGER. I felt a ton of anger (maybe "righteous indignation" would be a better term?) churning beneath the posts where you recounted your phone conversation with your wife, and the one with your SIL.
Don't get me wrong -- anger is neither good nor bad, in and of itself, and you have every reason of course to feel it. It's HEALTHY. Just be careful that you don't make big decisions when you're in the midst of feeling it.
