Yep...pretty much knew it was coming because it would be how she would see your offer.
This is my thought to a reply:
"W, I understand how you see my offer this way and please know that it is not meant to make you feel guilty or not move on with your life. I am offering insurance to you unconditionally and whole heartedly. Please understand that I do not try to alter your path at all. This is yours to walk, not mine. My offer stands, take care of yourself," Lefty.
That's it. Never bring it up again and after you figure your reply, it will be to her to contact you. And she may not. You will have to be prepared for that.
This offer, even though kind hearted, is viewed with suspicion by a WAW. They wait for the other shoe, they have come this far and are afraid of being sucked back in. You can understand this, right?
Yes, I understand. I saw that immediately, but it is still difficult. Still, this is the stuff that MWD has written about and I am finally getting the opportunity to DB, so I am trying to keep a PMA.
My reply to her above message about not contacting her again was this:
I'm sorry. I'll respect your wishes. I'm not trying to be manipulative, I just wanted to say those things because I couldn't say them earlier. My offer of help stands, and if there's any other way I can help, let me know. No obligation, no pressure, no expectation of anything in return. My sincere prayers are with you.
Seems like it was pretty much in line with what you suggested, right? I did okay, right?
