Hi Torn - welcome. Sorry you are here but I see you are getting much needed support.
Her email is believable and sounds sincere. It does appear that she is beginning to make changes. It sounds like her heart is in the right place. The only thing you can do is wait it out and judge her actions. And believe me, those actions will NOT come quickly enough. It is going to take time and probably months of observing behavior. But, she has offered an opportunity to talk and design a plan. Now is a good time for you to really lay out on the table exactly what you need to make this work for you in your M.
Hang in there. Keeping your family together is worth it! EM
