I think if you were ready to step away, you would just do it and file. Its going to take a lot of subtle effort and time. If you don't have the patience or desire, then maybe you can push into C and D conversations.
I'm looking at least a year, maybe 2 of limbo. I admit I do like to see progress, and have, but detaching is vital. The work we must put in is hard to believe, but at the end I want to know I did.
