YES. Well said.
Overall a fabulous post.
Touches me deeply.
I will resist commenting further except to say that these paragraphs are useful for all who tend to sit back and not get involved.
(Only a wee bit Aspergerish, my nuances are elsewhere.

(Brave of both of you to discuss so openly like this.)
(Sorry to comment in your thread, Matt!)

This is not a failing, but it is incredibly hard to deal with (and why is she telling you this like you don't already know).
