Ok, I think I got it. Maybe start it something like this:
You’ve mentioned the communication has been minimal. I am happy to talk to you. It’s difficult for me to know where to start sharing my feelings. Do you have any suggestions on how the both of us might get that conversation to work more easily? I understand the problem too and I want to know what you can suggest to make it better?
However I also really like your points in post #2263466. Since I should give her just a little bit at a time maybe some of that can be incorporated down the road?
