Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm unhappy about all of this. The reason that it feels less dire is that it just doesn't seem likely she'd go to another continent for this guy. It's for that reason that I think time may be on my side, ultimately. I am all for trying the DB method because it would take her a very long time to make arrangements to move over there (e.g. getting a job over there and making some exceptional custody arrangements).
