Dinah,
I've been thinking of you. I hope the rumors are not correct and you get the outcome you wish for.If you are faced with such an awful decision, I do think it's fair for all of you to have all of the information necessary to make the best one. I don't know how you and your husband talk about hard things like this, but I think it's possible to share how strongly you feel without it coming out like a threat. But maybe threats are all he hears? I hope not. But he needs to know how you feel, just as you need to know how he feels.
It's so so hard to make decisions as a family where one or more people have to concede or compromise. Sometimes compromise is not possible. I really value the way my husband and I have been able to deal with this so far. Although that may mean I might be moving a lot further south sometime in the near future to be closer to my inlaws. I tossed that out there as an option, while internally shuddering the whole time.
I'll be thinking of you. I hope you find some good distractions while you wait. If you need me too, I can tell you all the things I do to procrastinate. I'm very good at being distracted, it seems. My latest is birdwatching at the feeder in the backyard.
Take care,
gg
