Thinking of you as you transition into this next phase. I would anticipate that while this probably is a scary time to progress to this point, you've been a GAL master and I think you will settle in just fine.
I probably don't need to say anything, but anticipate some substantial changes in H mood and interactions due to you taking this step. As you said, it will probably be a cycle, he needs to get some help.
V, you are such a strong, confident and caring person. I hope you see how much you have changed going through this sitch and you've truly used the lemons life has thrown at you to create lemonade. You are inspirational. Stay the course of making V the best person she can be.
Take some time just for V the next couple days as you've taken off. Work can wait.
