She is the one that decided to change her work schedule so she could come her for 5 days at a time, twice a month. When she made that decision she was as happy as could be, "the weight of he world" was off her shoulders. She would come help with the house and the yard, the kids and she wanted me to schedule MC for the two of us. I haven't pushed her to visit at all in months and right now I don't know when she'll be back, maybe the end of August for S15's birthday and/or the start of school.
It was like she was throwing her hand and feet all over trying to fight me off, even tho' I was just standing her observing her from a distance and not threatening her, maybe she just likes to see her own finely tuned karate moves or something. She is really screwed up emotionally, mentally, she doesn't want my help, refuses it like I have the plague. Her loss at this point, she can party until she is 60 and maybe then she'll be ready to face her problems instead of just accepting "that is how she is" and doing nothing about them.
Thanks for the comments HS, they help tremendously, -JDK
