Yes, MrsNOP, staying on the topic is often for the best. B surely you can understand why some of the LD S on this board are reluctant to do that because, as in my case, I think some of my "staying on the topic" led to H leaving. In the end, however, it was for the best. He needed to be removed from the situation to see if it was something he really wanted to work on. When he came back, he knew it was with this understanding: the M will have a fulfilling SL or no go.
Risky but worth it.
