Get refocused on your goals. They may seem unattainable, but that's exactly what the devil wants you to think. All he has to do is get you sidetracked, he doesn't care how.
There is more pain in this process than I could have possibly imagined, but it's possible to survive it, and come out stronger because of it. Stay focused on what you believe God wants for your life.
The devil is playing dirty, and when he can't get you, he works on W. Why else would she suddenly feel "love" for OP right after a counselling session that's supposed to help your M? I doubt the counsellor really had any impact at all, being the first session and all. W's comments are simply backlash from her own mental anquish.
She realizes she's caused this pain, and the easiest way out of it is to justify it, rather than heal it. Like a burn - a third degree burn doesn't hurt, because all the nerves are dead. It won't heal when you keep burning it to keep the nerves dead, but it won't hurt either.
You got your hopes up, and they got smashed. Welcome to the club. Dust yourself off, set a new short term goal that will HELP you get your M back, and work toward it. Thanksgiving is too far away to waste the next week avoiding plans with W. If you don't give her an alternative, she'll spend it with OP.
W is going to say a lot of hurtful things about including OP and how much she loves OP. God has given you a gift of grace to endure these things. Continue to use that grace so that you can continue to show W a better option.
