I didn't confront her about any thing, except to say that she failed to seek appropriate help and I'm not sure she actually heard that, I don't recall her responding.
She tried to say some nice things, but I couldn't't even look at her when she said them. They didn't feel true. What she said was totally disconnected from my feelings about our relationship.
In behaviour she cried a fair bit, asked a few accusatory and offensive questions, but mostly she focused on herself (as usual). She didn't yell or significantly raise her voice, as she normally would. But she did pick on me a bit, indirectly. A few slights here and there.
I'm not sure if my t noticed these things.
