Am I on the right track? (2)

Both. Look, every situation is different. We all have free will. You can't say that if you do X, Y, Z, your W is sure to come back. Anyone who tells you that they can predict exactly that your W is coming back or not is a fool. I've seen situations that seemed absolutely hopeless, but they worked out. That's how life is. That's why it's important for you to not have expectations and leave it to the Man upstairs.

Thanks, MrBond. That's pretty much the encouragement I was wanting to hear. A veteran like you saying they've seen situations that looked hopeless work out in the end. My sitch looks pretty hopeless to me. At the same time, I've received positive signs from time to time such as my FIL this past week telling me he's encouraging his daughter to reconsider. It's hard to balance between detaching and giving up hope all together.
