Hi Cadet. Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. Yes, I initially made all the mistakes someone makes in this situation (pressure, pursuing, etc.), but I have read the DB book. It has helped me find a way to deal with this by using the LRT. It is sooo hard to do! I do need to GAL, and detach, and yes it appears I do have time on my side, albeit crushingly painful time. Is there anything I can do for you in return?
