Let me be clear. This is NOT Maybell's fault. I didn't think I suggested it was.

All I want to point out is that with any OTHER issues with a WAH the DB expects all coach to be compassionate, be accountable for your part of it and focus on growth, and recognize that the WAH is far from their best self at this time (and possibly during the M). When it comes to anything being hard on the children, however, it seems that the mama bear wakes up in everyone and the WAH gets attacked. Tough stuff, I get it.

I think Maybell took this exactly how I meant. It was meant to help her CONTINUE TO BE HER BEST SELF, and to have faith that change might be possible from her WAH in ways that seem impossible from here. FOR EXAMPLE...when WAH realizes what he's missing out on and discovers he needs to grow to have a 2nd chance with someone like Maybell...he might just start making these changes. None of that will happen if she fell into the trap of writing him off, resenting him, perpetuating destructive behavior, etc.

So her running her ship is the best thing she can do for herself, her children, her WAH, and her M. Maybell is strong enough to be detached without resorting using resentment to get there.
