Good job! As others have said, you will get mixed & confusing signals from her. The LBH can't possibly figure her out b/c he couldn't do it before she turned wayward! Arm yourself with all the knowledge that's available. Do not look at her upbeat moods or a "good day" as being some sign that things are improving. I say this b/c most newcomers are desperate for a ray of hope and will cling to these false signs, only to be disappointed with a deeper sense of hopelessness to follow. I wonder if it is b/c they place their hope in their WW, instead of themselves. The newcomer often focuses way too much on the WW, instead of GAL.
Staying balanced is key. Many folks misunderstand something they read and/or the application. They read something completely impertinent with their own stitch, and then get totally confused. Especially when reading another members thread, make sure you understand their stitch before applying that advice to your own. Some things are more general, and some may be specific.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
