I mean, she gets to live in a nice house mostly provided by me, she gets to be involved daily in S16's life, I take her on trips, to shows, buy her LOTS of stuff. Life ain't too bad for her. Why SHOULD she meet me half way when she's livin large and doesn't have to face anything she's done that contributed to where we are/were?
She shouldn't.
So she isn't.
And she won't.
You're still rescuing/placating/pleasing, IMHO, which is perfectly fine IF YOU'RE HAPPY.
