Well Nicolette. Suppose it depends on the situation? When Brian died, all of us were under incredible stress. Not much we could do to shield Evie from that. Other stress situations - we try not to involve or pressure her. Of course life isn't perfect. Can never totally shield her. One thing. Evie has her own part of the house. If she becomes tired of us, she may retreat there anytime, no questions asked.

Sorry can't be more helpful. Others may have more input. Kathleen definitely, once she returns from her trip. Take care.

Jim.
