22 Years Gone Part 2

[rooskers]

D13 and I were out driving and saw XW jogging on the side of the road. Poor D13 had a hard time because XW had told her she was working during those times and now she finds out that her mom is not working but using the time to workout. If you have read my sitch you will understand she has an addiction to working out because she has severe weight and body image issues. She should weigh around 115lbs but now D13 says she is down to 90lbs and still constantly dieting and exercising. Her workouts aren't a big deal to me anymore but every additional lie she tells D13 is another stab in her heart. D13 has a hard time because for the past 13 years her mom continuously chose working out or her workout friends over spending time with her. She also just discussed this at the last therapy session. I tried to let D13 know that she can't control what her mom does which unfortunately includes lying. I told D13 she can only let her mom know what would help her and then either her mom will listen and choose to do those actions or she will choose not to.

XW also did not even acknowledge D13 when we passed.
