Thank you so much for the support and encouragement, Christina. I’m trying to take in all the advice I’m given and parse the helpful bits that might steer me in a better direction — and I like to think most are well-meaning. I can almost see how my posts could seem ridiculous to some — even exasperating — as the clearest, easiest solution would appear to be leaving once and for all. Unfortunately, I feel there are some things that even written words can’t convey, and I believe my conflicting attitude about staying versus leaving — and when to make that choice final — is one of those things. Neither option comes devoid of consequences — but such is life, I guess. That’s the hard part.
