Guess I have to confront the issue, it brought up so many past memories of me ignoring my gut and wishing later that I had listened to it. I was really hoping someone would say gut feelings are all hog-wash
The worst part is, even if I confront it either way I'm not going to end up in a situation I'm happy with, if I ignore it it'll continue to gnaw away at my stomach (literally and figuratively) and if I confront it there will be much pain to endure.
I can't wait to be a bitter old dog lady that chases the neighborhood kids off my lawn by sicking my yorkies on them...life is going to be so much easier then

only 40 years till that point.
