Piecing is almost harder than before...

[XYZ]

I know that ultimatums don't work, but what about internal, personal deadlines? On May 4th, I will have been home from separation for 6 months. In my mind I'm thinking that if I can't see real progress in her by then I give up. Does that make sense? I just have this overwhelming need for a finish line somewhere that I can look towards? Is that dumb? I don't want to look back in 10 years and think I could have done more, but I don't know what more I can do right now.
