What led to her coming around the first time for you?

She is deep in it here. In "wuuv". It seems a combination of hating me because of all the "hell you put me through all these years" and standing in the way of her freedom, and feeling like she has met her soulmate and keeping it mostly a texting EA until she can leave. Ready to sign on a place when I give her the settlement.

I get torn myself between the idea of keeping home a safe place to land, being pleasant but maintaining boundaries vs. thinking this is a toxic person and no matter what happens, limit contact and never look back. I get detaching is sort of a solution to both in that you are moving on and there can still be room for a MR, but there is also power in saying there is no chance, that person is dead to you, and you build a new life with no looking back.
