I just realised I had picture of Michelle Trachtenberg open in my browser. Now that I've passed the link on, I can close it.
do you think it's the distance that makes it hard for her to grasp? Or do you think she'd be confused even if you lived in the same area, er, country?
It's just her. To be honest, she's hardly the only person that doesn't understand it, but she's the one most invested in my wellbeing, and doesn't feel comfortable unless she understands it. I feel bad for her, even as I tease her. But mostly I try and tell her it's okay--that he's hardly the only person looking out for me, that it doesn't have to be all about leaning on the one person. But I don't think that's how she came up.
Thing is, she didn't get married until her 30s. Who looked after her until then?
I suppose if I had family around it'd bother her less.
