So, here I was, surfing along, having been BPALing for..a bit now, and I decided, "Hey, I should check out some blogs" at random, and I fell upon yours, & read a few entries.
Take this w/ a grain (or a bin) of salt, since I do not know you, or him, or the situation - except as you've described it, but it sounds like you're ALREADY alone, just not "officially."
Luck and love to you.
