Thanks for your thoughts.

There is no doubt that the turmoil of the last 9 months has taken a serious toll on my psyche. I need to get my life back, and focus on myself. What is going to happen is going to happen, regardless of how painful it is. As Abbey says, maybe W will get her head on straight, maybe not. I will be there for her if she needs me, but that does not seem to be the case at this point.

I do wish we could put filing for D on hold, but I don't think that is going to be possible. Seems to be something the W needs and is clearly focused on. Everyone tells me to let her go and get a life, and that means letting her do what she wants with the D. Doesn't mean it is not sad.
