Yeah, you guys are right. I tried to broach the subject yesterday and got the atomic fireball response, you are right in that there is a serious problem and that this isn't going to be easy. She was furious that I could possibly be discussing my needs, even though I said I just wanted to her understand my VP and that I understood hers. I don't know how this will all work out, but I need a big dose of patience to deal with the initial stages. I want to just shut down emotionally to keep from being hurt but I can't do this. Thanks for the feedback, it helps. I am concerned that telling her there is a problem this serious will cause more trouble, what happend to you guys and gals when you confronted the SO? I also assume there a lot more HDs than LDs on the board, from what I can tell. Which is good because there is big pool of empirical knowledge.
