Thanks for the kind words Kaffe!

I guess I should have elaborated, because sometimes I feel like, "what if I kept on trying?"

And on the same coin there is the whole notion of there being only so much I can take. It got to a point where I felt like I was beating my head against a wall going nowhere, and then when I stopped, it feels like its going in a more positive direction and that kind of throws me off.

I guess I have to keep telling myself that if any bigger change is going to come, it'll be from her end and not from mine. I say that because its obvious I wanted to save things, but she clearly didn't so after doing what I could, I backed off.

It's a vicious cycle for the most part, but I don't regret anything...its just a lot of "dammit what should I do, should I say something or not, etc. etc."
