At the very least in our recent conversation I admitted my awareness that what we experienced was wrong and indicated that I have difficulty dealing with it. I also implied that neither of us were in control of the situation. Maybe in some small way she at least got some validation from me that it really happened. Maybe just that alone will help her healing in some way.

I think that's likely. I can't say whether she detected a sea change but I've never met an abuse victim who wasn't finely tuned to pick up on every comment that had to do with the abuse.

Leave that to her. Again, she has brought up this subject more than you have so that's a strong indication of her interest. But honestly, just ask her if it's something she needs to talk about. You may be surprised by her reaction.
