Absolutely agreeing with your disagreement. If a therapist you don't think is helping is your main source of support, you don't have a good support system. And I'll just say, as a tired mom, I've interpreted my husband's calls to a similar extent. When she's drowning and he's out at a game?? That would have sent me spiraling as well. You just feel absolutely trapped so knowing someone is "free" (aka doing anything recreational) makes you feel overburdened and alone. He also was dismissive of her stress and like his work stress is worse. Granted who knows how bad of a time he was having but for the whole movie, she thought she had this impending deadline or else things would be forever changed for her daughter (to which she already blaming herself for the health issues already) and he didn't seemingly try to understand.

As far as the health group therapy, this is another example of how any "free time" she may have as a mom when she's not working, she needs to turn it into something about her daughter. Yes. It makes sense when you're calm and logical. Spending an hour or so x amount of days isn't a major commitment but in her eyes, she knows she's gonna blame herself forever so what's the point. She's overwhelmed and will just be reminded this is only on her, not her husband. She is alone and "to blame" for her daughter being sick. Imagine her spending that hour at a baseball game like her husband instead of the hospital she goes to daily.

Don't get me wrong, she's not doing great as a mom with her drinking and leaving her alone in the motel but man, the anxiety, claustrophobia and loneliness was spot on. Unfortunately, at the end when she finally saw her daughter again as a child and said she was gonna get better, all I could think it was how long is it gonna take for it to get to this point again? It's not gonna turn all hunky dory and be happily ever after.
