On a positive side, there has been far less conflict in the house this week. She has been more transparent and a lot more dialogue has been initiated by her. None of it OR related. Mostly her and her needs.
Is "her and her needs" put just in generic, bullet-point format: Here's what my needs are? Or is the dialog cast in terms that suggest how to fulfill those needs?
You're right that it's a positive development; the difference is that the second formulation would, all else equal, give you more to work with.
