Just read your posts. Ees, I see your point regarding thinking of W as Dad's DIL for many years. The idea that she was working hard not to show any emotion is a good possibility as well. That level of immaturity get tiring... I remember crankin up that treadmill I went on next. Kept a smile on my face, but boy did I smoke it for a good 30 min.
In terms of a more compassionate view of her, yeah it was an unplanned contact, so I did take her by surprise, walking up beside her while she was sweaty in shorts and a exercise tanktop. Maybe it triggered a sense of vulnerability/fear? Like, is he checking my ___ out? (yes, of course )
Jo, you're right. It was just her WAS-alien mode talking, and I need to send it to the dumpster quick as just that and nothing more... Glad to see you safely back on the BB. Worried about you and your kids today.
