Irish, great job with the restraint.

It is good that she is seeing a therapist. Is this a new development?

I think the fear is normal. She knows she has done bad things, she knows she has been a bad mom. She is just projecting.

At least she realized relatively quickly that the wait until they are 30 thing was not a great idea.

Good luck to you and the girls (although I doubt she will follow through this time).
