She's in MLC, but I was weak. Now what?

This is sort of a liberating revelation. I spent a good deal of our counseling sessions defending my actions and biting my tongue. The mirror could have so easily been turned back on her.

Once I stop trying to defend myself, I keep hoping that she'll stop adding to her list. Sooner or later the list should end and she'll take a look within to discover why she's so angry. Problem is she's got a whole life of issues to unload, so it may take a loooong time. I'm not sure I'll be around when she's done with her list, but I'm still giving doing my best to wait her out. She hasn't filed, so she must be unsure of herself. That, or as Hope says, she's waiting for me to validate her feeling that the M is over.
