As always, thanks for the advice. It helps keep us grounded.
Recently, I made the mistake of convincing myself that my W was moving past the EA and OM and that her distress was due to the sitch with her mom. This caused me to engage, try to support her, etc.
Unfortunately, I now realize that OM is still in picture, and she still is turned off to me and trying to escape. My attempts to support her were in fact pursuing... (oops! - live and learn).
...now, however, she has agreed to a MC session, so I have to figure out how to best use it and not push her away.
Keep up the advice.
