DigIt - this ^^^ right here is the right attitude and the one pearl of wisdom I wish everyone to leave this place with. Take this horrible situation as a trigger to reclaim yourself. Focus on that, only that, and not on her, and let the chips fall where they may. You are guaranteed to leave here happier than you were, regardless of what happens.
