Rock you've been getting lots of support here from others so I've stayed mostly out of your tried except to read.
My best advice for you is to be careful using excuses as to why you cannot effectively DB. We've seen several posters here buck the advice in order to do what they felt they should do impulsively. In every one of those cases they ended up getting exactly what they were trying to avoid. Humans have a natural tendency to create that which they fear the most. DBing is about bucking that trend. That's why it is counter intuitive, because doing what gives naturally is what causes us to create what we fear the most.
They advice hear feels uncomfortable because bucking what comes naturally feels uncomfortable. Unfortunately, it's the only way to change the dynamics of your situation.
Keep on keeping on, Rock, but do it differently of you want different outcomes.
