I agree with Ur, but would add they need an alibi or excuse, and they need not to feel completely wrong, if that makes sense.

Doing it for your son, is her partial get of of jail free card - she can feel that she is doing something too, is a person of worth.

In all of this the MLCer needs to feel worthwhie - and that is hard. You are being amazing. But she probably feels awful aboutherself.

Good luck with all of this.
