Maybe, Hope, one day this acquaintance of you, it’s gonna appreciate what you tried to do.

Thanks so much for this. It helps me to see things from the other shoes/other side.
I suppose we're only ready to see what we're capable of seeing or admitting to at any particular time.
When I was in school for counseling, they taught us as budding therapists to only work with wherever your client is mentally and emotionally at the time. Meaning, don't push your client to a place they're not yet ready to go. I had forgotten about this most golden advice from my education in the mental field, but I think it's spot on.
And yes, perhaps one day she will appreciate where I was coming from and will realize that it was from a caring place of only wanting to help her.
