everything I'm glad you're not.

You don't hurt me like he did. Now, yes we fight, but its different. You don't attack my opinion and you actually listen to what I am saying. 

You are about my values and you try to uphold them with me. 

I'm glad you listen to boundaries and limits. 

I am glad you have self control. He never would listen when I said no. 

You don't make me do anything I don't want to do - that was a big change... (I'm not talking about mundane things like doing homework. I am talking about things that make me uncomfortable or self conscious) 

I'm glad you aren't that person who charms everyone into thinking you are nice, funny, and a good person. You don't have to do that because you are a good person. 

I'm glad you respect my mom and you don't argue with her about things that aren't relevant. 

I am especially glad you aren't rude to my mom. Or rude to me. 

You're caring. That is what is different. 

You are actually caring. 

That is what I am glad you are.
