Really appreciate this feedback, True Gritter...guess I was anticipating being able to address some of this in MC, but know I need to get back to GALing and figuring out what *I* want (both in my M and generally).
Agree the M is still in crisis (which is exactly what our MC has said to me)...being patient is hard and I guess I need to be patient with myself as well as with my W.
My sense is that she would just want to shove everything about the A "under the rug" (and I have told her in no unclear terms that I can't do that and that I have to "go through" processing the A before I can try to "get over it").
