You’re right; my mother was doing the right thing, but she’d already established that she trusted me enough for her not to have to do that, and it was completely without warning. Not to mention that most of what I would rather she not see, I want to keep private so as not to exacerbate her anxiety. I stopped her within what, 20 seconds, but because I stopped her so hastily I’m pretty sure she’s suspecting.. other things. Things’ll be awkward for the next few days.
