Sandhi wow, these insights are priceless. I have a much better understanding of what I am dealing with. I intend to use it. Thanks for the tip off as well. I am not sure how I wld have reacted to the 'might be a hope' speech and I think this might be coming - she is not done trying to pursuade me and moves from being nice back to insults when I don't back down. Again, this is all helping me understand the importance of detachment - I need to do this to keep strong and protect my family/myself. Your v first post is now starting to sink in. The last chance of happiness, how she will fight for it, do anything to get it. It all makes sense now!

Now to pick up working on me. Please keep posting and thanks. I am getting it at last.
