Thanks, GH. I actually feel more "well" than at just about any time in my life and I'm on the way to feeling even better.

I thought most of your post was dead on, but I'm not sure about:

The means may look the same, but the end goals are pretty different if you ask me.





I don't know. I could argue exactly the opposite: that both the MLC and the LBS truly engaged in GAL are both trying to find their meaning and purpose and discover who they really are apart from their spouses. That the means are what is different -- abandonment on the one hand and detachment on the other. It's like two people with the goal of getting rich, and one decides to rob a bank while the other decides to get more education or start a new business. Thoughts?
