Hi Jed. Sorry you here but the vets can be tremendous help and others can offer moral support. I think all sitchs have hope and yours is no different. My feeling is your aw feels the way she does. Right or wrong she has made choices for her. Time will tell if she made the right decision or not but regardless you have your homework from cadet and my advice would be to see a DB coach if that's logistically possible or else get yourself and I/C or L/C We all need professional help to work through this and maybe other issues.
Post often because people will chime in. Take care. Rd
