When I originally asked her a day or two after I caught them, she said she felt like she couldn't talk to me because she knew I would judge her and criticize her. I wasn't meeting her EN. I've been changing the way we talk to each other, and it seems as though that wall that she used to put up is slowly coming down. I'm much more patient in our conversations now, and I don't interrupt her or judge her. She says part of her wants to experience life on her own because she feels like she has no identity. She has no friends of her own, and doesn't feel like OUR friends are truly hers too, they're more mine. Are all of these new feelings simply symptoms of an EA?
