Things have been going good with her. I have been surprised by the amount of contact we have been able to maintain, school starts Monday.
She is feeling more comfortable around you. Keep it up.

She is very nervous but so am I. I hope that she works hard and realizes she can lean on me through out that, and not lean other places that make her think she is making the right choice by leaving.
Remember to listen and validate to her if she talks about her worries, she isn't looking for you to fix them. Practise your non-verbal encouraging noises, we women do that all the time! It lets people know that you are listening, taking in what they are saying but not interrupting with your own thoughts. This is an action that shows you care.
