Irish - What I hear is that she still wants someone to fix her mess. As Cali pointed out, she will meet if the therapist says she is strong enough. She needs YOU to help her rebuild with the girls.

If she really is seeing a therapist, he/she will know that she went waaaay off the deep end. No normal person walks out on his/her kids. And it sounds like she is doing a whole lot of justifying: I was dying, I needed to feel alive, etc. Me, me and more me. No therapist is going to see valid, justifiable logic in it.

I hope the therapist talks her out of it right and I think he/she will. If the therapist said that we'll see on Thursday (2 days from our session today) if you you are "strong enough," well, I think the therapist has her answer that it is not the right time. If she is questioning the timing, two or three days certainly is not enough time. And it makes no sense to start the process until she can really put forth true effort and really earn their trust back. It seems otherwise she'll just burn more bridges with them?

Of course, they have their own say in all this. And the very sad part is, she very well may be ready before they are?

Kudos to you..:
