My gut feeling is to validate and give the key back. Except my gut gut feelings are always to placate her
Maybe, validate without placating her?

You: My not handing over the keys just now, makes you feel I don't get what harm my years of alcoholism did to you.
Her: I knew I should never have let my guard down. I thought you were working on yourself to realise what you have done to me. It's all an act I thought you had changed.
You: You feel I haven't even been trying to understand how my alcoholism affected you.
Her: I don't trust a word you say.
You: You don't trust my words, only my actions.
Her: I'm not talking to you until you give the key back.
