Went back and read my interactions with W from last week. She was definitely in the same place that she's in this week, but even more pronounced. ANGER
I saw the same reaction when I appeared calm, she kept increasing the rhetoric until she hit a point and then backed down. After that, we had somewhat of an interactive conversation. I guess it will be like this for a while.
Also, she did say at one point today "The kids keep begging me to come back home, but there's no way I can see that happening" Probably not the best response, but its actually progress that she's acknowledging that they are struggling.
