Dusty, good luck with things. I know we're on parallel trains at this point, so I can't give you much advice on what the future may bring.

I think you handled things with W fairly well. I'm glad you stood up for yourself and said you will not lie to the kids. Good for you!

If I were you, I wouldn't get my hopes up too much about the argument being some kind of turning point. But as they say, it ain't over till it's over.
