Fair enough, 8! It is certainly important to look at the experiences of others and allow them to help you in your decision making. My apparent failure using my approach may be due to my application of the theory, personal defecits etc. Who knows! Oh, and please don't think I'm accusing you of saying any of those things in re to my sitch! BUT I do know that through my efforts to do what I have done (or tried to do) I am in a better place if my M ends. I just want you to be in that place too, it that comes to be. I know I don't want to sit back and think, if only I had tried this first! Be as sure as you can be before you decide to show her the door. I know because of the prep work I've done through GAL etc., I will survive and do well. I wish the same for you. Take care.
