hey there!! im so happy your sitch is taking a turn for the good! Personally, I'd prefer actions vs words than words and no actions. Be patient, you've come a long way, it is easy to overlook the positive steps and to hungrily look for what's not there yet, enjoy what you do have, the beginning of what can be.
I highly recommend the book "healing the hurt in your M" it is awesome. I liked the part about the mirror effect, what you reflect in your eyes to your S is what she becomes: if you cherish her and accept her and aprove of her she will grow, but if you see her failures and where she lacks this and that she will feel the dissapointment in your eyes. Easy does it
