Wow...you have had quite the day, CD! You are on a roll!
Not much you can do about ostriches. As my FT said today, Denial can be a very strong thing!
Just to add: she and I discussed all the different aspects of GAL and 180's. Didn't really make any new discoveries, it just helps you stay on track to have it confirmed that what we are doing is the right thing for ourselves and our families here on this forum. It helps keep me from getting discouraged when I know the path I am taking is the right one. When you don't have the support or the end in mind, often you veer from that path because your emotions take you down so many different tunnels - with no cheese, I might add. I think this is what Pup meant earlier about Cruise Control - just stay the course! You're on the right path.
I think QS also makes a good point: right now it's an emotional high to finally be able to do something about all this! There may be coming a time when there's a letdown or frustrations occur. That's just natural. HOWEVER: no reason not to celebrate while you should! No one wants to burst that bubble. :-)
Just know that if there is a letdown later that your support systems in place and the knowledge that you are on the right path WILL help you stay the course!
