I find your last remark very interesting...I no doubt agree. I havent heard so much but I know W and her friends/family well enough to be able to do some unhealthy mind reading.
Once the WAS has justified whatever they need to to involve OM, the LBS is severely disadvantaged and already demonized...thus ANY action is judged negatively...the positives are manipulations, the negative- justifications.
Terrible spot to be...as Robx would say- there are plenty of fish in the sea...sadly I am starting to realize this.
I have become more spiritual as a result of my sitch, W has become less so...I believe in M, W not so much...
My point is that OIN- as long as you're bettering yourself and setting a good example- "eff her"...the table is slanted and that's the way it is...doesnt make it impossible- just highly difficult.
I vaguely recall OM suggesting that she was possibly "talking to someone else..."- thats exactly what happened in my sitch...better yourself for you and someone (W or someone else) will benefit.
I just told a friend to eff off b/c she tells me the same shirt...none of us will give up until we're ready...be proud OIN
