Hey KG, it's good to read you here. And good to see you posting to and supporting other members. You've got your head on straight and it really shows.
I wanted to echo 25's words above:

It IS easy to loose sight of the A being a symptom of an underlying problem and therefore focusing on the OP rather than our own betterment in order to be a better option... or more specifically... to be a person that only a fool would leave...
