Sorry for hijack and lack of qualifications for making intelligent remarks on couture. I am in almost identical straits as you are and like the group that you are interacting with and thought I would pop in to say I have posted as a newcomer on this forum and would love to participate in the discussions. I really admire the way you are handling things and staying positives and would like to emulate. Thanks.
The 3 laws of DBing:

2. Since drop in WAW's PMA leads to drop in LBS's PMA and vice-versa detachment is critical.
3. Validate to raise WAW's PMA and GAL to raise LBS's.
