Hm...interesting topic. Looked back through some e-mails/postings because I couldn't remember if some things were in the past year or not! (The joys of getting older...)

Ups:
Finding the strength to realize that it wasn't working with ex-T and leaving her
Finding new T and clicking with him
(very early in year) MC being very reassuring in an e-mail to me about the office move (even though, I realized later, his wife had passed away a few days earlier).

Somewhere in between (good in the long-term, but really painful/difficult in the short-term):
Standing up to MC regarding his unclear, shifting boundaries

Downs:
MC's reaction to my "I love you" e-mail that ultimately led to a very difficult phone call and then his request that I limit outside contact
MC questioning whether other kids were at the bar/restaurants and taprooms where we take our daughter (Yes, she's not the only kid there!)
(very early in the year): My selfish reaction to MC's wife's passing--questioning him about why he wasn't planning to tell us (and wouldn't have been honest if we'd asked him)
Ex-T implying that I hadn't made progress because I still had issues with anxiety and depression
