i'm in the same boat, except OM. I too relate with your relationship with IL's, I have noticed that its easier talking with them when I don't bring up W. It turns out that they bring it up without any prodding on my part. I just listen and affirm their thoughts. Kinda DBing the IL's practicing for when I get to talk with W.
