Your GAL list is excellent. You know, I really learned alot from your sitch, in terms of you struggling with an overfocus late spring/early summer, and making the decision to drop the rope and focus on your own goals separate from SO. I doubt much movement toward the other stuff would have happened had you not made that choice.
In reality, at this point for many sitches, it seems like the chance for a successful reconciliation is a combination of 1) something "clicking" or issues being worked out in the WAS; 2) Successful GAL work/continued growth/issues being worked out by the LBS. Perhaps stemming from 1 & 2, there also is an ability of the WAS to see the LBS as safe, with little/no resentment about their choice to leave and all the suffering that resulted.
You're doing a nice job with all that is in your court, M. Just wanted to thank you for showing me the way.
