Dev,

What a rough update!

Yes, it is hard not to rush in and try to "fix" things for the WAW. As you know, we all say here that we must step back and allow WASes to experience the consequences of their choices. It seems to me that W is really hitting bottom. Not sure if that's her ultimate "rock bottom" , but looks awfully close to it.

Detachment with compassion is a tricky balance indeed. Good job on walking out of the house. That is a good DBing move on your part, Dev.
