Update:

Picked up D from school and WAW was already at our home when we got there. I asked how her pre-counseling evaluation went. Got a short "It was fine. They wanted to put me on meds. I said no." That's all I got.

Then her sister called and she gave her a much longer description. She met with Doc for 20 mins. She felt Doc was very smart and in a very short time had an understanding of the emotions she was battling. She recommended meds, but told her they take 2 weeks to take effect, and she'd have to be on them for 6 months. Then "weened" off of them after. W said, and I quote, "This could all be over with in a month, so what's the point of going on meds?"

What the hell does that mean? I can take it to be one of three things: 1) school semester will be over and she'll be less stressed. 2) she's planning to move back in. 3) she's planning to file for D. Of these, #1 only makes sense, as #2's not happening without serious discussion/consequences/agreement and #3 is certainly not less stressful - but then again, she could still be lost in the fog and believes that's the thing to make all this "right."

Things are moving fast around here, though, that's for sure. Just not sure which direction we're taking. One thing AJM80 told me is if she comes back to not settle or let her settle for halfway, so for me, I'm not ready for #2 - no pun intended, even though it appropriately fits the sitch.
