I'm with you. I would still want to apologize as well...explaining that our recent talking again prompted it as it always felt bad, and did at the time.

She may not respond well, but chances are that she will...especially if she's talking with you again. If she's talking with you again it seems she's made that progress on her own anyhow? It might just be the icing on the cake?

Mostly, though, you're apologizing for the right reason...it's the right thing to do when we feel we've "wronged" another. No matter how her response, you've done the right thing...even many years later. Says alot about you, lady.

Good luck and let us know, k?
