C, the difference between your sitch now and a "natural" approach is the difference between a toddler learning to walk the very first time and an adult learning to walk again after a debilitating accident requiring physical therapy. It would be ridiculous for the adult to complain that it doesn't seem "natural" and easy. There is damage and pain and scar tissue to have to deal with. You're absolutely right. She's being unreasonable and fantastical, like Sandi said.
