Well, i did call her to see how her feelings were doing. It was a nice, light conversation and she brought up things that her dad had informed her of about additional abandonment episodes during her early youth due to her moms addictive behaviors.

Also, how that stirred up further resentments against her mom, but that she has dealt with those additional issues now and feels she has put it in the past.

Also, she mentioned about how she never got along with her dad previous to him getting cancer and passing away this past April 28th, but that she had the opportunity to get closer to him during his illness.

I feel ever so slightly that she is opening the door just a crack, but i don't want to react too aggressively and pursue.

How do i go from here?

My intent is to still keep a polite distance and hear her out if she wants to discuss anything.

She does want me to keep her updated on my friends wives condition. She stated that she thought that she was the last person she would have thought would have relapsed so hard, especially with the drugs added in to the equation. There has been at least 3 acquaintances she knew besides her parents who died of earlier than expected circumstances in the past 9 months.
