Oneeleven - sorry for not responding to your earlier question. Regarding what would I hope to gain by sharing this "elephant in the room", it wouldn't be so much as a "aha, I knew it", but rather just to put it out there to get everything on the table. I think it would make me feel the same, maybe even a little better since I could at least realize that I brought it up.
Thanks for the responses to my last question. It was what I was guessing would be the case, but I suppose there is always room for interpretation.
Quite honestly, I feel terrible. I don't know what to do and I know I can't control anything. All of you I know are going through something similar (and many with kids, which I assume is even more difficult).
I suppose I won't respond to her e-mail and just sit back, be silent and see if any positive signs come out of her conversation with my friend's W on Monday.
