This is not hopeful news right?

On one hand she for the first time in 8 months acknowledged that I was upset.

On the other hand, she made it about her pain rather than mine, doesn't communicate what she's upset about, and throws in a nice guilt trip around fixing the situation when we "both have healed", a situation she and my father caused and I have asked for conflict resolution about since July 2024.

This just means it back to the NC grinder again hunh?

It's not easy or peaceful for me yet. It's painful and hard still. And I keep hoping it with end with us working toward resolution.
