I haven't got time for the pain

[tested metal]

Thanks for the advice Snod. I am trying to take everything with a grain of salt.

She did mention when she was begging to stay with me that she would do anything...

I am very aware about the manipulation, but you are right, I am going to have to nip that in the butt.

It's hard to tell whether what I am doing is right and I am getting positive change, or if it just another way to manipulate.

I guess her staying may be a test of some sort to see where she is at in this stage. I do not expect anything, save the boundaries that I set be followed, or out the door she goes.
