Upon reflection, what I wish I had done was to simply provide you with another possible perspective and then let you choose what you wanted to do. After all, I'm not sure which of our guesses is correct. I could be completely wrong.

Sorry for not doing that and for my emotional words.

I guess I just got emotional thinking about a person who is struggling so much and wishing there were something I could do to help them. I think I thought that by encouraging you to let up, I was actually doing something to help her.

But there was actually something better I could do. I reached out to her to praise her for her bravery. I wish I would have done that from the start.

I'm sorry about the negative interaction but through it I was inspired to actually do something that I hope is productive.
