Thought I Was Piecing, Now I'm Detaching II

Congrats on 5 years since your first post, Bond! Amazing to see the change that can happen from where you started to where you are now.

PON, I think it's best to keep any negative interpretations of events or feelings only about you and not what you assume her past or her feelings are. So instead of I understand that neither of us had the greatest role models, just say that you felt you didn't. If it's about you and your feelings, there is no room for her to get defensive and counter about things that are irrelevant to the main point.
