The irony is right now she has more walls than me and I'm the one more opened up. We talked about that a little too.
This is part of the WAW mode and it takes a lot to get those walls down. They did not go up in just a few months. Remember not to push or expect too much too quickly.
The fact that she told her mother on her own accord is huge!! I was rather forced to tell my mother about my EA and I am still struggling with the disappointment it caused her. I have seen her age these last two years more than the rest of her lifetime put together. That is a hurt that I can't seem to get rid of even when I pray about it. I caused her pain & great disappointment in me........and I was her "good" girl so it was as if she had nothing else to be proud of after I messed up. So, as I said.....for your W to tell her mother, and probably knowing how she would react to the news....is a very big step.
Take care.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
