Well maybe I didn't screw up too bad in my response to her "concern" - she eventually texted back "I appreciate it..."
Validating is a tough thing to remember to do when I'm not used to doing it..I hope it makes a difference in myself; the difficult thing for me when doing it is it feels like I'm giving her my blessing to just walk away if that's what she wants to feel or do....argh I hate feeling like that.
