Careful Jar. I would feel better if W were scheduling her own counseling appt. It would mean that she is acknowledging a problem. I'm encouraged that mommy dearest believes your W has a problem, but unless your W decides she needs some help she might only be going to satisfy mommy. Having been through that process myself, I can tell you that psychotheraby can be extremely helpful to someone who wants to make changes. I hope your W goes into it with a sincere desire to change.

Be that as it may...you did a fantastic job not reacting to your W's little game this morning. You're letting her problems be hers. That can be truly liberating.
