I just got her response. It seems much more positive than the last ones that I've gotten.
------------ I believe that you are learning and growing. I felt very restrained. So much in fact that I started to act out against you. I want to be myself too. I am on my way. I feel good about today and how things have been going for me lately. I've had some rough times and learned some hard lessons but I feel like things are going to be moving forward. I'm glad you recognize things that were bad about our past. I recognize that I was no way near perfect. I did some things that weren't right either and I am sorry for those things.
I feel like I am doing okay right now. Are you doing anything for Thanksgiving? I'm just going to my parents and that is about it. -----------
I think my response is to just tell her what I'm doing for Thanksgiving. Should I validate some more or tell her that I forgive her for the past? (I do by the way.)
