No, I don't think that you're being mean J3B. And I agree. I guess what I'm getting at is whether or not you think that the phases have to occur in the order that you described them happening to you. Like I said, I didn't have a middle phase as you describe. Mine have occurred like this:

1. Distant/ignore W because of my own selfishness causing W to leave

2. Distant/ignore W bc she left and I applied LRT (from beginning of Dec through about end of January)

What I'm HOPING is that I am NOW going through the phase that you describe as the middle phase... but for me it is just happening in a different order.

But you are right, I won't know until I can look back on all of this craziness without being in the middle of it.
