Hi Tammy,
Thank you for your message.
You clearly understand the situation well. That's exactly how she has reacted. She's clearly terrified of being left on her own without me, especially as my job brought us to a part of the country far from family and friends.
Up to now, she hasn't wanted to talk about it to anyone, but she's always been a natural worrier, and I just worry that she's bottling it all up too much
