You are doing great! I am so there with you with regard to your S8. That is so painful for a kid. My D3 is confused as well but then she is still a little too young to know any better.
Good luck with your job search and it is wonderful how well you are handling your life right now.

The 3 laws of DBing:
1. PMA is critical to 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.
