The Talk
Well, I talked to Elia last night.
She was apologizing before I got my first sentence out; she knew she'd made some very poor decisions.
It was awful. Just emotionally yucky. There are hundreds and hundreds of people I have managed but for 4 years, she has been one of the foundation rocks of Bear's life.
We left things on a positive note with clear rules.
I am praying that she is able to work through this profound emotional confusion that being in love for the first time is having on her.

Even though it was yucky, you've just made things a lot easier for Elia. As you said, she's facing a lot of new situations these days, and your explicit instructions will spare her the confusion of trying to make difficult decisions on the spur of the moment. The next time her boyfriend offers to give Bear a ride, she can just say, Nope, I'm not allowed to do that. It's probably better to err on the side of micro-management for the next few months, until she figures out how to set boundaries on her own. I imagine she'd prefer to be micro-managed than to feel like she's let you down.

I'm glad you and Elia had the talk. Now that things are straightened out...everyone can relax. Right? Whew!

I hope that everything with that situation works its way out!

That is great. I am sure she will be thinking longer and harder from now on about the choices she made. I am glad that two people who clearly love Bear can have a good discussion about what is best for him.
