Ralph,

Remember, detaching and acting As If does not mean that you should be mean or disrespectful to her. It means that her words and actions, however hurtful, do not cause you to react emotionally.

I don't know that I would 180 a request to go to counseling. Why does she want to go to MC? Is it to work on the M? Or do you think she is just trying to get to a friendly place with you? I would think that if she is sincere about working on the R, has shown remorse and is coming out of the fog, then MC is what you want to do. Its fine to go and not have any expectations.
Do you know if the A is still going on?
