Thank goodness I’m not the only one who thought that was an odd thing for the doctor to say. I was beginning to think I was losing it and maybe it was just me so I didn’t comment but then others did, so I wasn’t alone. It also makes me cringe even more that she says you’re her everything. You always describe her as this strong, analytical, non-emotional, type A personality and that seems true with her son but then she’s all flowery and swoony over you. That kind of doesn’t make sense. I’m not saying you aren’t a catch because you really are, at least from this angle, but her emotion toward you seems somehow disproportionate from the emotion she displays toward her own child. Of course, there are many subtle nuances to all this that we aren’t privy to and I get that.

I don’t know either of you so I am likely just crazy but something about how you describe her versus how she acts/is just doesn’t quite gee haw in my mind. I have long feared for you exactly what G pointed out.....what happens when you get knocked off that pedestal?
