Don’t worry she will speak when she feels safe and secure. That has more to do with her than you. It is going to take time for her to feel safe and secure to herself as she is continuing to wakening to her actions.
I don't quite agree with this.
My point of view - from quite a distance and without my glasses - is that she's successfully rug-sweeping and pretending that what happened never did. I suspect but don't know that that's Gordie's opinion as well.
Because I like bad imagery and long stories it reminds me of a tree gall. Damage is done to a tree by an outside force and the tree grows "around" the wound. It's still there. Will it fester and cause problems in the future or will it just be part of the tree? I certainly don't know.
I have an ash tree that my youngest brother gave me from the family farm. It has 2 main branches growing that I was worried that it would cause the tree to rot and split. I was going to cut one of them off and allow the remaining one to grow stronger on it's own. But my brother (who studied and practiced forestry) suggested that I bolt the two branches together and have them grow and heal up the crotch and reduce the pressure pulling them away. So I put a piece of threaded rod though the trunks and torqued them down. If you look at the tree now, you can see a couple of inches of threaded rod. The nuts and washers on the ends are long absorbed into the tree. At some future point, the tree will need to come down and that threaded rod will probably be an unpleasant surprise to someone.
