MC,

What is it she's still lying about?

She needs to have a better understanding of what she's going thru physiologically right now. She's very likely in withdrawal, and her mood swings are going to be ALL OVER THE MAP for the next several weeks. Having fits and starts during this time (and I mean going from TOTAL remorse to TOTAL venom spew) IS COMPLETELY NORMAL, AND EVEN "SCRIPT."

If she can understand this, she can be more patient (and you with her) during this time. COMPLETE withdrwawal will take up to 6-12 months, but this "hard withdrawal" period of the first few weeks is brutal.

I'd hate to see either one of you making any permanent (and even life-altering) decisions during this time.
