I never posted to your thread, but have read through all your posts over the last couple weeks because I'm in a similar sitch you were in about a year ago. Reading your posts has give me inspiration to continue Dbing. I'd like to add to KAW's remark about subliminal messages. I know we're not supposed to read into or believe anything for that matter what the aliens say or do, but I do believe their actions and words are results of exactly how they are feeling at the point in time. So, I would chalk up the tennis match with W against OM as a victory and baby step in the right direction. I think you already know that though from your post right after about W telling d not to worry about a stepfather.
