I was discussing a thought I had with a friend of mine.. we were going on about how when one member of a family dies, is incapacitated, or for any reason unable to be part of a family, other members sometimes step up and take over part of the missing persons persona.. start playing their role for them..
hubby is sick, Mom slaps on the constructin boots and starts hammering nails into boards.. or takes over his job as president, or whatever.. Mom dies, eldest daughter starts raising younger siblings and taking care of her mothers former duties with the household finances..
It can be a little odder when a child dies.. a little strange in a way.. my sister lost her 18 year old daughter, next thing I knew my sister was wearing 'teenage' clothes, (mostly red and black, which her daughter had favoured), and had cut her hair to resemble the way her daughter wore her hair. She talked and acted much younger than she had used to. It took several years before she reverted back to being her old self compleatly.
Anyway to get to the point of this post, although I am sure CA can be a proper terror on her own, I wonder if some of what we are seeing is a result of CA playing the role of KC??
