I honestly don't know what's gone on as I'm more interested in the case than anything else,but because I'm Pattis' friend,I'll speak in her defence as a person and not whatever's gone on here.
Between Patti and myself,we are two entirely different characters,she being the one who'll " walk away " from any unpleasantness,whereas I will fight my corner and remain steadfast.
I know Patti well enough to say that she's NOT a nasty person by nature,does NOT hold grudges,and doesn't find it difficult to forgive.
Whatever has gone on ( and I don't wish to know ) it couldn't have been pleasant and certainly not what Patti's used to,which would have upset her greatly. I'm not making excuses,just trying to explain that she's the type of person who DOESN'T like trouble at any price and has difficulty in dealing with it.
She's not a " hard-knock " like me !!
