LL I do agree that it was a bit soft (maybe it needed a touch of Dr. Phill? - personally I'm not too fond of the guy though) but it might be because she was allowing the guests and the audience to interact more than to have that interaction herself. I felt like smacking one of the guests for pretty much allowing the H to do have that A and almost letting him know that if it happens again he will still have home to home to come back to.
I do believe though that some of the other aspects were helpful - to me at least. I feel that it might be so beause some time has passed for me to get used to what happened (couple of months) - if the timing was different the show might have gotten me angry and not allow for the patience that is needed to work on my M.
