What kind of DB would you be doing if you moved back home?

I don't know isn't good enough BEC.

Yeah I know it isn't good enough Ten. What are your thoughts. Any suggestions?

You said that if you went home, your W would go nuclear. But you are going home in the event she is with OM. I just can't figure out the connection with you going home in order to DB against her R with OM.

When there is a case of OM, DB'ing involves detachment. Even moreso if she is a WW.

This is compounded by the fact that you don't even know what you will do if you went home.

I would at least create a solid plan of action and clear up your confusion before going back home. You could do real damage barging in there without a plan to manage yourself. You need a real goal too.

Most LBS's who have to live at home with a WAW in an A fog is a soul destroying experience. I know this first hand! I don't recommend it!

So, having said that. You go home on the assumption she is actively in an A. Sandi's advice about a WW, you would have to implement. When you read it, what are your thoughts on it?

Thanks Ten. That's why I'm having this open discussion because there is absolutely no way I can do it without a plan.

Plus: I really don't know if her friend is an OM or just a friend.

For the moment, I'm not acting on this whole going home thing. Going to do my dimming for a few weeks and reassess.

But I'd like to keep the discussion open.

My parents are in the process of losing their home and are being forced to downsize to a smaller place in the near future.

Going home might not be optional at some point. So I need to start planning for it in advance.

What I'm still trying to get from this is, what do you hope to accomplish by going home? You are not admitting something to yourself.

By going home, do you feel that you will have more control over the situation?

I thought sandis advice was rock solid. The connection I was drawing between if this friend is more than just that, going home would be a show of being firmer rather than softer: which was how I interpreted sand is differences between WAW and WW.

Just brainstorming.

Well let's continue to brainstorm.

Please elaborate, what do you mean by firmer? Firmer as in showing that if there is an OM you will not accept that?

That's a good question. I'm not sure what it would accomplish. Which is why there is no way I can do it right now because like you said: I would need a plan.

I guess I'm mostly looking for opinions and viewpoints from others: what is my most effective course of action concerning this specific matter.

I have to do some self assessment and figure out what I may not be admitting to myself. Maybe it is that I would feel like I was taking more control back of the situation. I'm not sure which is the clear indication that I can't act on it at this point.
