Sorry to hear about things going south Cali. You know how it goes though, it's only over when you decide it is and patience is key. You have all the tools you need and know what you need to know, just have to stick to your path.
I'm pretty sure my W is in some type of MLC right now also. Maybe a quarter one(that's a thing) becaue of her age. Anyway, doesn't matter much about what I call it, to her any pressure is a big mistake also so the principles are the same. I've learned a great deal reading your posts and what your going through, thanks for sharing it all. I think I have my toolkit full stocked about now also and know everything I need to know. I know those bread crumbs would come in handy to anyone who got to piecing, not make make it there so it must be a strange place.
Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be
