I just want to say thank you for writing this all down
I think the LBS has a fantasy
When the one who left comes back
There will be this wonderful reconciliation and happily ever after
The reality it is another roller coaster with different twists and turns
Shout out to Blu for explaining this so explicitly
There is one thing I would add to / emphasize about Sandi’s list:
This is not necessarily linear
And sometimes you think you are one place on the map
And then you realize a few weeks later you are someplace else
Best wishes to all
