Text I sent to W in regards to our convo:
I understand your stress. I want you to be able to sleep well. Whatever choice you make I support. Let's break this cycle of confusing action and intention. Just know that you are welcome in my home always. I am happy to see you and give more time for you to be with ***** (S).
She thanked me for understanding and that evening gave me the choice of having her stay over or not. I was asleep already when the text arrived but it seems like a good baby step for me being able to empathize with her hurt that I caused. I feel like we are getting down to the root of the issue. I feel good about the progress, really trying to listen and understand her needs and where my failure to connect with her has been.

Seeking means: to have a goal
Finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal
