It's been three months since I've been back here, and I wanted to post an update. I spent 5 weeks in the partial hospital program, then transitioned to an intensive DBT (Dialectical behavior therapy) program. This is also 9:00AM to 2:45PM, weekdays. It has been incredibly helpful, a completely eye-opening experience. However it is very draining, and I haven't felt much like posting since starting it.
In terms of DBing I think I've done a lot of things wrong, but that I needed for myself at the time. From her side there was a push to meet with her and her lawyer, something I just did not think I could do. Frankly I couldn't even understand the concept of me meeting with HER lawyer, without one of my own. When I finally got my act together and got a lawyer, he describe what they were suggesting as "unethical".
I'll try to compose more details, later.
