If it's not an 'excuse', for all intents and purposes, to move past semantics, what word choice would help you, read my post, as not painting a negative picture of him, which, rereading my own posts, I don't see, how I have done this.?????????
What I wish I could convey, which clearly I cannot...is that, it's up to her, to get in touch with her true inner worries, and NOT give demanding overtures about any of this.

I don't claim to know your intent, and I understand your point. I apologize that it sounded like I was nitpicking but I am a person that takes very literal meaning from everything. All I have is the text here and even worse it's not real time so there is no way for you to interject anything as soon as I've posted my view.
Let me explain a little more. The word "excuse" to me, is a way to "get out of" something and rationalize it with something that has no real effect on it. Excuse, the noun, for me, always paints a negative picture. So forgive my interpretation and misunderstanding you. I hope this helps you to see my thinking in my response though.
Also I agree she needs to do what you said too. In addition to communicating with him, which it looks like she has done.
Please never think that I look upon your replies as overly negative or bad, you're extremely helpful at times to many people here and in context, I know your intentions are always pure. *hugs*
