Vanilla - You were kind to say on my thread that my posts are valuable to you. I am surprised because to me, you are leading the way. You show such grace and calm in the face of such adversity, with a mean H and business challenges. In my case, I have a cordial and distant WAW plus two adorable daughters and yet I manage to be a sobbing mess six months into the sitch.
I don't know that I can say anything of value, except to those who suffer equally under the best of conditions. I sometimes tell myself that I have to be more like Vanilla, that I have to just look at the situation with detachment and resume my personal plans. Worst: the thought that maybe this is all for the best, because WAW was going to do it sooner or later, or because maybe I was tired of her more than I'm ready to admit, provides little, if any, comfort.
Really, I look at your sitch and feel I can't contribute a thing. My strength relate to empathy for WAW who can't bear the sight of their LBS, something that many newcomers don't grasp. This is not your case. Maybe that's my fixer reflex who thinks that the only way to contribute is to provide practical advice. Let's hope that my mere presence here show you that I care a great deal for your situation. Keep inspiring so many of us.
