Thanks both for welcoming me. Yes, it's a very toxic environment here and that's what makes it so frustrating. More often than not, I see no way out. I did find out about one group. They only meet once a month. Not sure how good or effective that is, but I'll give it a shot. I just have to start working on convincing the general to go to her Mass in the morning as opposed to the evening (like she does when I go to yoga class - that took me forever to convince her).

We'll see how that goes. But I'm glad I found this forum. Even just typing things out and venting my frustration out helps loads.
