grant legitimacy

English term or phrase: grant legitimacy
Her gut was telling her she was being abused but Bill hadn’t done anything overtly cruel to her. So, she didn’t grant legitimacy to her feelings.

Su instinto le decía que era víctima de maltrato pero Bill no había le hecho nada abiertamente cruel. Así que, ella no dió credibilidad a sus sentimientos.

Gracias

considerar justificado/válido


Explanation:
En este caso, entiendo que el personaje considera que sus sentimientos no están justificados, que no son válidos, ya que, a su parecer, las acciones de Bill no son motivo suficiente como para que ella se sienta así.
