Navy, When I read your post I applauded your C and what she surmised from her interviews. I believe your W needed to hear that, I believe you needed to hear that. Some people respond better to hearing frank critiques from neutral third parties. IMO opinion that is one of the benefits of this forum.
Perhaps she will take what has been said, look deep within, and begin to affect change, perhaps not. Either way it is not your kit to carry. It is her journey to take carrying her own deuce gear.
Go and do the work at EE. Be present and focus at the workshop. Let this noise fall away into the background as much as possible. It isn’t going away. It’ll be waiting to be dealt with when you get back and can afford to focus upon it.
From my perspective GB’s point about overly apologizing is spot on.
