I want to go a little backwards and sort out a picture of this relationship. Two adults, one with a minor child, not working. One drives, one rides a bike and may/may not boost the car on occasion. Minor child is home schooled, suffering possibly from medical or emotional disorders.
These two adults become engaged in November 2012 when one is 20 and one is 40 something, the child is 13. Mom self reports that the child began experiencing depression, manic or otherwise, the same year.
That has to cause a lot of pressure. TS indicates that her home was a safe haven of sorts...not really unusual when you have teens. But it seems likely, to me, that TS has been coached not to specify the nature of the discord in the home.
What is the source of income for these two adults?
