I know, I know.. I'm trying to very delicately balance how much of a "follower" she is by nature since not pursuing at least a tiny bit will most likely cause her to never speak to me. Seriously. After she was busted and kicked out of the house on New Years day, the next time she was over she angrily mentioned how I hadn't even reached out to her. As if I should have been reaching out then and not her.
Case in point, that text exchange was the most productive talk we've had in 3 months. I honestly didn't expect at this point to get that level of calmness and honesty from her. Am I going to be reaching out every day now and ask how her day is, how she's feeling, etc. No, not at all. But like Kaizen said, I think that seed needed to be planted and now it can germinate.
