hinc:

I must 'fess out that I was a little concerned about coach's and JL's suggestions, but mainly because of what I remember about your sitch.

I like Pep's idea as a sensible compromise that allows the family 2 be 2gether for the holiday without sending the wrong message (in fact, it could reinforce your plan B recovery requirements).

Living with an active WS is hard 2 do. Hardest for those in a PA with a nearby OP, but still hard if the OP is far away. I did it, and I believe it can be done (and can "build character" in a meaningful, but TRYING fashion). But don't you just "do it" without very careful consideration.

I realize that Coach didn't necessarily advise that she move back home, and so if you believe you can do something like he suggests without prolonging the pain, then consider it.

best,
