That seems to describe my W. She has some family history in that to some extent as well. It almost like they truly believe it's easier to go through the pain of running away than to work through the pain they're in now. They fail to acknowledge there is a greater reward in working through the pain they're in now. I think many of us LBS'ers are in the same boat. It makes me wonder if some people are just "runners".

Yep, that's a hard one. Just remember it's her loss.

Amen. Now that would be an upgrade, wouldn't it?
