Wow, thank you to you all for your insight. It certainly does help to have an outside look at things. And, Doh2007 - thank you for the book recommendation. I will SURELY check that out as reading any book I can get my hands on has been my savior. Funny, all of your advice is mostly things I knew already. It reinforces my feelings that keeping my distance is justified, healthy, and although hard - it IS the right thing to do. Sometimes it just helps to hear it from someone on the outside. Thank you for helping me draw strength - and I look forward to extending my help when all of you need it!!! This place is great!
