I definately think I'm getting there. As I mentioned, I don't think there is exit plan from that state (in her mind). Her feeling is we'll just put up with no one hurt, no one happy.
My feeling is that I have done well, however, I'm at a point of not knowing where to move next. It's her move now. So I guess I move into cruise control and sit back. My feeling right now is I guess it's her choice, she is the one who will have to answer to God and children for her decision. Of course we know that won't float well with either.
