Bradely,

Bill is certainly right about each of us knowing the nuances of our own situations. None of this is cookie cutter stuff.

Something that is really hard for alot of people that are married to Dr's is how alone thay can feel. It's not the life they expected it to be. I know my MIL had a hard time of it. For my FIL it was his calling and passion in life. Being married to someone that has that mission is something that really takes some deep thought and I think it takes a different type of person.

If she is contacting, I would respond. Again, watchful of an agenda. If it helps, keep it up, if not, change it.

HUGS
