Should I give her credit for taking that step? Should I say nothing? I kind of feel like I need to help her along this a bit - she's in withdrawls, and part of me wants to tell her what she's doing is a good thing, and I'm here if she wants to talk...
Anyone have opinions on this?
I think it's appropriate to thank her for taking actions to make you feel better, but I would not try helping her through withdrawal unless she asks for help. Too easy for it to sound preachy or condescending. Just try to be near her without smothering.
Not easy, but I think it seems like treating her like a wounded dog might be good. Let her get used to your voice, let her find it soothing, not confrontational. But don't approach her - let her come to you
