Maybe b/c she knew that's what they wanted to hear and that it would satisfy them for now. No, don't place any value in what she told them.
Agreed.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Can you explain more?
I mean that she has done her work, too. Through her childhood abuse and continued lying about her A. I would want her to apologize for her part-- even though she may have felt justified at the time.
BTW, you said your A ended when you discovered your W have one. Did she ever know you had an A?
