We had a fairly good day. She commented on how calm I was and that she liked that. She doesn't sleep well at night because she has to awake at 3am to do her rounds in the RH and then again at 7am when the morning staff comes in. Then she sleeps again until 9ish. So her broken sleep is affecting her ability to cope. Her mum got an extra week to stay in Canada and she is glad about that. W told me that her and I should go away for a week together after her mum has left. That the first time she's mentioned us going away together. She again commented how nice it was to be held by me on Saturday - that she needed that. I'm trying to be empathetic and caring while maintaining detachment. It's a hard position to maintain. She said she wants to come by my house later to work out (she can't really do that at the RH). I said ok. After we dropped mum off she asked to go for a drive so we did. She told me she's not sure if she's fit to live with anyone - best just to be on her own. She said she feels like she's dishonoured herself and she feels ashamed (No mention yet of remorse, but I think it's just a matter of time).
Yes, Sandi2, I think that I could be plan B but I also think that she may be trying to come to terms with her poor choices. At this time though, she is a bit overwhelmed with her mum's deportation on top of all the other issues in her life. She is still suffering from burn-out from the RH job. She also has mother issues from a lousy childhood that she's still dealing with, hence she feels very conflicted about her mum's departure. I will just empathize and care about her. It's all I can do right now.
