Okay, so I'm not sure of the deets, but I think my eldest's "friend" might be the one she's been talking about for years. If so, they dated and then broke up. They are now "like sisters". Joe is going to help her get into his field, she will be prosperous and flee this temporary shelter when this happens.
I love her. How do I lock her down into family? She (autistic), had an open and relaxed body language conversation this morning with eye contact.
