Re: Iris / Sam What faults?You know Okay. Um Here is how one of my doctors described it to me. And no, I didn't tell her about the doors, just general things.
You have a woman. She's nearly thirty, and she's spent most of her life not leaving the house and not socializing with anyone outside of her family. Or at least very few people, and most of those through the computer. And then she's put into long-term residential care after a severe psychotic episode due to being unable to deal with life outside her parents' home. When she's finally released, instead of staying under the care of doctors that have known her for years, she moves across the country into a new situation. Into this already unstable mindset, through a mutual acquaintance, she meets a young man who is approximately ten years younger than she is, starting his adult life, and he's polite to her. Being polite, he doesn't complain at first when she begins to fixate on him due to her poor social skills. But it reaches the point where he can no longer balance her obsessive attentions with the responsibilities he has in his life. And his life and responsibilities must come before her unhealthy fixation. That's not bailing, and it's not breaking up, and it's not him being an idiot, Sam. It's just [...] me. I'm not so far gone that I can't see logic and sense when it's pointed out to me.
