Bright, I'm so sorry about your foot. I hope you heal quickly.
I agree with Job about your h's envy regarding all you've accomplished on your own. I think the MLCers make these choices that don't turn out to be the greener pastures that they thought they'd be. And they get antsy and even angry when we pick ourselves up and do well in spite of the hand we're dealt.
As for your previous posts about whether to leave the door ajar, close it or do something else, I'd give the same advice as the others about your foot. Slow down. Take your time and decide what is best for YOU. Figure out what path you want to take ... what path is in your best interest. The trick is to push thoughts about how it affects your h aside (as much as you can) and concentrate on you and where you want to go in life. It's okay to still have hope that the M will be saved, but there is absolutely no harm in having a plan B. I think doing that will help you determine when (or if) the door should be closed. That advice came from my IC and it certainly helped me focus.
