Thanks RCR. You are one of the very vets that I hoped would drop in!
I think I have found it so hard to detach in general that losing hope (or at least telling myself that I have) has helped me to do that better over the last week or so. But there is still a door left ajar in my mind, so I guess that counts as hope?? I think too that if it is MLC I might have a bit more hope than if she's just WAW as there might be a pattern to it which I could track (the analyst in me). And if she came back tonight and said she'd made a mistake I would tak her back, so maybe that's hope too. (BTW I DO know she isn't going to do that!). Thanks for your comments.
