Thanks to everyone for their hugs and support. I was a bit surprised because I received a response back at 8am this morning from her. In a way, I could imagine that she felt defensive and wanted to, well, defend herself. But in another way I see some of the same patterns, particularly of her questioning my perceptions and thoughts and feelings (and some of what she wrote is incorrect). I'm just not quite sure what to feel or think. I truly didn't want her to write back - I'm over her and didn't need a response to move on (in fact, this keeps open a dialogue), but I didn't write please don't write back, so I completely understand that she did write. Here's her response, on another thread: http://forums.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=215846

Thanks again for your support and hugs. This is really meaningful to me!
