You might be on to something here. But I don't think you should float the idea with her.
No way. Although interestingly, I did talk to an FOO expert that I was referred to a few months ago. He asked me if she ever reconciled with her father before he passed away in April, '08. I told him, "No," and he basically said it was being transferred to the most important man in her life now - me.
He also asked (without me bringing it up) if she has displayed a pattern of cutting people off, shutting them out for good and running away when she's reached a threshold of pain (I know I've used that description ad nauseam on this thread before, but that's what he asked). And when I replied, "Yes, quite a lot, actually," he gave me the psychologically-equivalent answer of, "You're toast."

Oddly enough, I'm not. I was livid last night. But I find today (after reflection and the overwhelming response I got from you guys) I'm not angry at all. I'm not taking it personally. If anything, I feel more compassionate. But, still, I'm done. Thanks.
