Thanks Pink. And thanks dear SR friends. I do appreciate the "tough" posts. I know I can get all tangled up in the emotions to step back and be objective about things. That is also part of my journey - learning to step outside of that immediate emotional reaction and think instead. Funny thing is, I realize this is part of the lesson I was meant to learn by having this A in my life. Think my HP thought I was getting a little lazy in that department.
