I don't have a problem with striking up a conversation with a stranger in public. I am fairly chatty and friendly, I guess. I have more of a problem with those that are stand-offish but then that is the Brit way in many respects....
If someone was to make it clear they didn't want to inter-act, I would respect that, without doubt, and refrain but I have had some very pleasant dialogues with people I may never meet again. And I have experienced some amazing acts of kindness from strangers too!
Haa haa.... I think I may be a bit old for that, my friend.
Oslo.... sorry, that came out all wrong!! Sounded like a whinging Pom there, eh? Not what I meant. Thanks for the update though, love...... you're a darling, darling!!
That said, Kitty does have a dilemma all the same.
I remember issues with my ex whereby, okay it wasn't intervention I sought, more support. But my mother was reluctant to get involved in what was, clearly, an adult relationship, because of appearing "interferring", and I can fully understand her stance on that.
One will always care about their offspring, and even feel pain for them, however old they get. Its a very fine line and a difficult balance to get right. I don't envy her position.
