In our attempts to understand how we got here we often fix on one or two things. While in some situations this could be valid I believe the causes are often more holistic. It is not any one or two things rather it is the effect of many.

I believe removal of any one or two things will not resolve what has been built up as the “reasons” the WAS uses to justify their actions. The underlying issues driving the reasons will not be resolved unless growth occurs in both the LBS and WAS.

Just as we must look inward and grow so must they. It is unlikely they will do so while running away. IMO the best things we can do are grow ourselves while minimizing the things they are running from. During this the phrase too little too late crops up, this is a BS phrase designed to test our resolve for the growth we’re making.

Don’t stop and don’t fixate on a few items, rather expand and within the bounds of your personal honor as a parent do a little running away yourself.

Perhaps the local troupe could use another cast member? Involve the children?
