Finally...an answer

I have finally received an answer to the conundrum that's all but consumed me for more than 2 months. Granted, it is far from the answer I was hoping for although it was the answer I expected. I just would have liked it from the source and not a facebook status message. But I have at least gotten conformation on where we stood and knowing is half the battle. Believe me, I knew I wasn't going to win here, but there was hope dangling there. Since that's gone, I can try to start healing and working on doing it the healthy way this time, i.e. not by spending the next 6 months in the bottle. Especially since I will be waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too damn busy this semester for that. Apparently, I can't stumble drunkenly through Master's coursework. BUT, there are several days that I will be out of commission, hopefully this Saturday in BG will be one of them. Feb. 14 will be another all-day boozefest, so don't even bother.
